KU faculty seek end to power cuts on campus
The Karachi University faculty have appealed to Sindh
Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan, who is also the chancellor of the institution,
to ask the Karachi Electricity Supply Company (KESC) that the campus be exempted
from load-shedding so that teaching process should continue without any
interruption.
A request to this effect was made to the governor in an
open letter signed by the secretary of the Karachi University Teachers Society,
Dr Abid Hasnain.
The letter stated that power load-shedding was not only
affecting the teaching process at the campus but also damaging chemicals and
equipment worth millions of rupees in laboratories of various
departments.
It was pointed out that the University of Karachi was the
biggest seat of higher learning in the country with an enrolment of more than
20,000 students and over 5,000 academic and non-teaching staff at its
disposal.
It was observed that there should be a difference between
educational institutions and industries as far as power load-shedding was
concerned.
Like other facilities at the university, provision of
uninterrupted power supply, too, was essential so that teachers could continue
their noble profession and educate students without any disruption.
The
KUTS appealed to the governor to ensure that the campus be exempted from
load-shedding.

The Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and
Technology (FUUAST) directed the students admitted to the evening programmes to
deposit their fees by March 24.
