ISLAMABAD: The students of National University of Modern Languages
(NUML) have protested against the high handedness of the university
administration and have threatened not to pay their dues and boycott
university mess until their demands are met.
NUML students
talking to this news agency on Tuesday told that NUML administration
has restricted the hostel students to eat from the hostel mess and they
are not being allowed to bring food from home or restaurants.
“The
girls’ hostel has capacity to house 70 to 80 students but the
administration has packed 170 girls in the hostel, which is a great
inconvenience. On top of this they have banned us to bring any food
from home or outside”, a boarder, Humaira said.
Another student
who wished not to be named said that the students have talked to Hostel
Warden Saba Iftikhar several times to at least allow them to bring food
into the rooms but she has refused to listen to their woes and has
rejected their request.
The male students of the university
expressed similar views. They said they have been told that if they are
not willing to join the hostel mess than they have to manage their own
accommodation outside the campus.
“We are being left with no
choice but to hold peaceful protest and stop paying our dues until the
university administration listens to us”, said a student. Online
