The students of the Dawood College of Engineering and Technology (DCET) blocked the University Road (New MA Jinnah Road) for three hours on Friday, to protest against road accidents that had injured three students of the college

The students boycotted the classes and held an impromptu protest demonstration in front of the college that was also attended by the teachers and the staff to show unity with the students.

They demanded the construction of a pedestrian bridge near the college to save the students from the rash and unruly drivers who had no consideration for the pedestrians.

In another development, a meeting of the United Students Front (USF) was held in the People’s Secretariat to mourn the death of a student, Wasif Aziz, who was gunned down by an activist of an ethnic party a year ago. The meeting was attended by its President Hasan Hammad of IJT and Shaukat Ali Gilgiti of Imamia Students Organisation and representatives of 10 other students’ organisations.
