Finally Punjab Student Union (PSU) stepped in GNDU security issue, pamphlets distributed in GNDU hostels


It seems that security issue in GNDU is not going to come to an end without some solid results.When the academic schedule was resumed on tuesday after a week long shut down of University, it appeared that administration was able to  take grip over the issue. However, today a famous student organization Punjab Student Union (PSU) stepped into this issue as pamphlets were distributed by this organization in university hostels. The issue of respect of girls in the university and demand to bring back the victim girl is highlighted in these pamphlets and VC is criticized for the way he tackled this sensitive issue. Alongside, some other issues which are listed in these pamphlets are regulation of academic fees, poor quality food in hostel mess and 24 hour supply of electricity to the hostels. Students are being provoked to start the protests again. Knowingly, in the history of GNDU, there is no such interference by any students organisation and all the issues were solved peacefully.
