The Karachi University students who had been protesting fee increases and inadequate facilities on campus have called off their protests after successful negotiations with the vice chancellor (VC), Dr. Khalid Mahmood Iraqui, were revealed by The News.
Following the approval of the demands, the eight-day demonstration, organized under the name “Student Organizations’ Alliance,” protesting a fifty percent late charge, subpar transit services, and inadequate infrastructure was called off on Friday.
What were the demands made by the students?
The 50% rise in late fines ought to be undone.
The recent examination fee increase of 120% needs to be reversed right away.
The Rs. 5,000 re-admission fee ought to be eliminated.
The introduction of “business models” at Karachi University is not recommended.
