worth Rs.24 million of around 1200 students of Malakand Division, said

SCN resents tree felling on UoP campus
Peshawar: The Sarhad Conservation Network (SCN) has expressed dismay
and shock over the felling of heritage trees on the campus of the
University of Peshawar in the so-called expansion of Road No 2 and
demolition of the vintage gate from the early period. In
a press release issued here on Friday, the SCN contested the University
of Peshawar administrators' argument that the expansion of the road and
installation of scanners on the gate were needed because of traffic
congestion and security threat. The SCN said that the traffic
congestion could be easily diverted to Road No 1 opposite Spin Jumaat
with scanners installed, rather than demolishing the original gate.
"The Peshawar University is a sacred place and its heritage cannot be
tampered with for short term objectives. World-renowned universities
have narrow streets and lanes. People walk inside and cars parked
outside," the press release quoted Maureen Lines of Frontier Heritage
Trust, as having said. A conservationist, Mrs Naseem Rauf,
said the universal rule about traffic holds, "Wider the roads: more the
traffic." She said it was a horrendous idea to widen the roads in a
renowned learning centre, adding people should respect the environment
and not abuse it. "Why cannot the university develop further
outside in new campus rather than cramping the already crowded space,"
said Tayabba Aziz of Fine Arts Department while talking to the SCN. The
SCN requested the heritage lovers and environmentalists to demand
declaring Peshawar University, a heritage site with legal guarantees
against further development and expansion and strict directives for
conservation and preservation of trees. When the Peshawar
University was founded in October 1950 by Pakistan Muslim League leader
Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan, trees were uppermost in his mind and the first
vice-chancellor Dr Razi Ali Siddiqui, an eminent scientist and a man of
vision. They reportedly imported red flowering sumbal saplings
from Afghanistan. The romance with trees continued with VC Mr Brookes
who planted neem, sheesham, mango and sumbul trees in the entire
campus, engulfing the air with aromatic ambience. Renowned Greek
architect Doxeidus, and English William Terry especially designed the
campus on the pattern of Islamabad, with open spaces, gardens and
trees. Later eminent vice-chancellors, Chaudhry Mohammad Ali,
Hashim Khan, Munawwar Khan Afridi, G M Khattak, Farzand Ali Durrani and
the towering Abdul Ali Khan were great admirers of nature, and "tree
plantation, pruning and assessment committee" was a regular feature of
the varsity. The News
