LAHORE: After the Tuesday’s violent clash between two student groups, Punjab University (PU) administration has decided to install biometric machines in all its 27 hostels.

The part two of the PU ambitious plan is to restrict entry after 10PM.

Part three of the plan has been decided earlier: only the administration would organize curricular and extra-curricular events in the future.

Part four of the plan is that students will have to get approval from the committee that would be formed for this purpose.

And part five of the reve is that any guest invited to an ‘illegal’ event will not be allowed to enter the campus.

Cynics go haywire to look at such an ambitious plan knowing that the students organizations are nothing but the military wings of leading political parties. How could they survive without having this sort of armed youth power at their disposal?
