Technical institute student protest 'maltreatment'
Lahore: A large number of students of the Govt Technical Training
Institute (GTTI), Gulberg, held a demonstration outside the Tevta
Secretariat on Thursday to protest the alleged maltreatment meted out
to a student by family of the authorityís chairman. The
protesting students chanted slogans against the management of the
Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (Tevta) while
some of them also smashed windowpanes and flowerpots at the Tevta
Office. They alleged that some students, pursuing the Discipline
of Carpentry, were made to work at a boutique owned by family of Tevta
chairman. The protestors told reporters that a student, Fayyaz,
was allegedly made to stand in scorching heat when he showed reluctance
to work at the boutique without approval of his instructors after which
he fainted. The protesting students demanded the government take notice of the issue. Tevta
Chairman Saeed Ahmad Alvi was not available for comments for being out
of country and Tevta Secretary Tariq Masood refused to comment over the
allegations, saying the GM (Administration/Finance) who was also having
additional charge of Tevta chief operating officer was the relevant
person. When contacted, Finance GM Khawaja Adnan said some
students, belonging to the Muslim Students Federation (MSF), were
expelled over non-attendance almost a month back, adding that such
elements were behind the Thursday's protest. Answering a
question he said some students performed duties of servicing air
conditions at Chairman TEVTA's home for which they were also paid as
part of training. Khawaja Adnan said the issue was being exploited by elements belonging to MSF. He
further he himself held talks with protesting students and directed
Zonal Manager to review the expulsion cases adding if the same were not
initiated under disciplinary proceedings the expulsion could be
reviewed. Meanwhile it is learnt Parliamentary Secretary for Industries Rana Tajammul Hussain has also ordered an inquiry into the matter. When

been constituted which would submit a complete report within few days. We also contacted Chairman TEVTA's residence on phone but no one was available for comments. The news
