Plan hinges on meeting between TEPA and PU
Lahore: The revival of long-awaited road, planned to pass through the Punjab
University, linking Maulana Shaukat Ali Road to Karim Block of Allama Iqbal
Town, hinges on the crucial meeting between TEPA and the Punjab University
going to be held on Tuesday. The proposed road that has to start from Shah
Di Khui on Canal Bank Road to Wahdat Road near Karim Block, passing through
land owned by the Punjab University, has been hanging in balance over the last
three years. Talks were held repeatedly to carve out the modalities for
construction of the road but negotiations remained fruitless. A
two-kilometre-long, 36-foot wide dual carriageway faced a stumbling rock when
the Punjab University syndicate denied issuing No Objection Certification
(NOC) last month in August, terming the construction of road unviable. Taking cognisance of the situation, the Punjab government intervened into
the matter pressing both the TEPA and Punjab University Syndicate to put
their head together to remove all hurdles hindering the construction of road
costing Rs 700 million. According to PU bylaws, land owned by the university
cannot be used for commercial purposes, nor can it be leased out to any
other agency or institutions for purposes other than educational. Sources
privy to development, revealed the varsity disallowed TEPA to construct the road
passing through its land, objecting that the proposed road would affect its privacy. TEPA
officials seeking anonymity said that the PC-I form had been
submitted to the government in May 2008. They said the agency waited for the
approval of the project by the varsity syndicate amid controversy over the
modalities for using the land. They said a committee headed by former Punjab
chief secretary comprising PU Syndicate members had already been constituted
to examine the land-use issue. However, they said the university's bylaws
allow using the institute's land for public welfare projects. They
maintained that the construction of the road fell into this category and
TEPA was awaiting approval of the committee on the modalities of using the
land. The varsity had no direct access to its new campus at the moment.
The construction of the new road would provide easy access to the
university's visitors, including staff and students, they added. The
proposed road would also end the perennial traffic jams on the Canal Road
alongside the university, they added. The road, they said, would also reduce
the overall burden on the Canal Bank Road in the wake of inordinate delay in
the Canal Road widening project. The nation

US to help promote education: Carmela
Lahore: US Principal Officer Carmela Conroy called on Punjab Governor
Salman Taseer on Thursday. A handout said various issues pertaining to
cooperation in educational and trade sectors came under discussion during the
meeting. Taseer congratulated Conroy on her appointment as the US principal
officer at US Consulate. The governor said Punjab was the land of saints
and the people of this province were very hospitable and courteous. He said
there was no room for fanaticism in our society, adding the elements involved in
suicide attacks or killing innocent people had nothing to do with
Islam. Taseer said that the PPP government believed in the policy of
national reconciliation and this was the reason that President Asif Ali Zardari
took all parties on board and gave them a share in power. He said in past,
opposition members were mostly targeted but now they were being treated equally.
The US diplomat assured the governor that the US would extend all out
cooperation to Pakistan for the promotion of universal education and teachers'
training. The news

Two students arrested in UK return home
Lahore: Two Pakistani students who were arrested in the UK on false charges of
planning terrorist activities on Thursday reached Lahore. Talking to
reporters at the Lahore Airport, Muhammad Rizwan Sharif and Muhammad Omer Sharif
said they were detained in jail along with criminals in the UK despite the fact
that the UK authorities had failed to prove any charges against
them. They maintained the UK authorities created circumstances that
forced them to leave the UK. They termed the detention as a shameful act for the
entire nation, saying that they were detained for more than three months without
any justification from the UK authorities. They demanded reimbursement of
their fees deposited in the UK. They also wanted a probe into their detention.
Both the students along with other Pakistani students were detained in the UK
four months ago for allegedly planning a terror plot. The UK invited a lot of
criticism and condemnation as it failed to prove allegations leveled against the
students. The news
