Hooliganism mars exams at Karachi University
Karachi: Students taking law and medical exams at Karachi University on
Monday were shocked when some activists tore up their answer scripts to protest
the murder of student activist. "It was quite disappointing that our
answer scripts were torn up by some students in the presence of a large number
of Rangers and KU security personnel deployed on the campus," deplored a
candidate, who appeared in MBBS (First Professional) exam. Campus
sources said that student activists asked the university administration to
postpone the Monday papers after receiving news of the death of the student, who
had been attacked two days back. But, they added, the administration did not
take the matter seriously and failed to provide complete security to candidates.
The sources said that Karachi University Vice-Chancellor Dr Pirzada
Qasim had asked the pro-vice-chancellor and the controller of examinations to
ensure peaceful conduct of the exams, but they could not make proper security
arrangements. Meanwhile, the university's examination department has
announced that both the LLB (Part-I) and MBBS First Professional (Part-A)
papers, which were marred by hooliganism, have been postponed to June 27.
Timings and examination centres will remain unchanged, according to a KU
notification. Dawn

Expensive equipment stolen from KU pharmacy dept
Karachi: Burglars barged into the instrument room
of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy,
University of Karachi (KU), late Monday night and decamped with a High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) unit, Scanners, and some other
instruments. The HPLC cost around Rs1.2 million. In charge of
the department, Dr Fayyaz Vaid, expressed his surprise that the
incident could happen right under the noses of the KU Security and the
Rangers. "The bolt of the locked room was cut by the burglars and the
instruments were carried away. How can they do it when the main gates
are guarded 24 hours a day," Dr Vaid wondered. The apathy of the
KU Security was evident by their lukewarm attitude. A Security Officer
came, spoke with the teachers and staff of the department and went.
Nothing was done till 2:00 pm when two police personnel from the
Mubeena Town Police station arrived in the department. Karachi
University Teachers Society Secretary Dr Shakeel Farooqui, who had
earlier arrived, objected to the visit of the police personnel who were
supposed to be accompanied by the KU Security. "An FIR has been
registered and hopefully there will be some positive development in the
case," Campus Security Secretary Arman Ahmed said. The News
