bury the whole area in garbage and would take action against those who would
complain. He said that his whole family was disturbed due to the harassment.

demonstrate in front of Lahore Press Cub against this act of PU authorities. He
said the threatening of the PU authorities was a violation of human rights and
that the whole community would agitate against it. He said everyone in the area
was disturbed because of the garbage heaped by the university but PU had not
even shown a little interest in solving the problem. Daily times
