Karachi Teachers observe 'black day'
KARACHI, Nov 3, 2007: More than 3,000 teachers from 118 colleges of the
metropolis observed 'black day' against the Saturday night raid by intruders on
the Regional Directorate of Colleges in which several rooms were ransacked,
records destroyed and equipment taken away.
Teachers wore black armbands
while on duty at almost all colleges in the city and held protest meetings to
condemn the raid.
Addressing the meetings, leaders of the Sindh
Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA) said that the intruders broke open
the gate of the directorate, ransacked several rooms and decamped with PCs and
official record.
Participants of the meetings demanded immediate arrest
of the intruders and recovery of the directorate's property.
They also
suggested that the directorate be shifted to the Sindh
Secretariat.
Meanwhile, the SPLA President Syed Riaz Ahsan chaired a
meeting of the organization on Friday. The meeting criticised the provincial
education minister and the secretary for turning a blind eye towards the matters
pertaining to education and literacy. Dawn
