Girls' college has no electricity for 2 weeks
LAHORE, Sep 17: Himayat-e-Islam Degree College of the Himayat-e-Islam
Trust is running without any electricity for the last two weeks. Mumtaz Qayyum,
principle of the college, said that the electricity wire in the
college had burnt and it was the fault of the engineers who had built the
college 18 years ago. She said that the engineers had installed water pipes near
the electricity wires. Now water entered the electric wires due to leakage,
damaging the electricity circuits, she said. She said that the problem would be
resolved soon as she had sent a request to the education sectary and the trust's
office.
Miss Lubna, a college teacher said that not only students
but also teachers were suffering due to this problem. Altaf Hussain Shah, an
accountant, said that it was not the fault of WAPDA as it was an
internal problem and college authorities were responsible of it. Amara, a BA
student, said that girls were not attending classes due to the
shortage of power as it was hot season and it was very difficult to sit in
classes. Madiha, another student, said that it was very difficult
for girls to sit in classes. She said that students were suffering due to the
non-ability of water and college had not an alternative source of power or
generator. Rutaba, a yet another student, said that there were 2,000 students in
the college, but hundred of girls were not attending college due to power
suspension. Daily Times
