Topper trampled to death


LAHORE - A Punjab University girl was crushed to death by a bus of the same institution, drawing ire of her fellows who took to the streets. The resident of Model Town topped the merit list of Institute of Communication Studies.
The first semester student, Alisha Khalid, fell off the overloaded bus in the morning when struggling to get in, according to eyewitnesses.
Mother too watched dying her glorious girl.
Bus conductor was also reported to have sustained injuries, while the driver fled the scene. The sad story shattered her fellows and other students, who took to the streets to vent their rage against the university administration for its ‘dillydallying’ to get over traffic troubles they have to face daily.
It is learnt that the university has 56 buses to cope with 32,000 students’ transportation needs in the provincial capital. PU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran handed over negligent driver Khurram to Model Town police after suspending him. He claimed to have taken up traffic troubles seriously, saying that his admin is “working to do away with it”.
“Due to increase in the number of female students, such problems had been created. One new bus has been added to the fleet of university buses for the past five years,” he added.
Dr Kamran blamed the dillydallying on the previous administration, saying: “The former admin never heeded over such matters but my administration will take the negligent staff to the task. “We arranged two courses in collaboration with National Highways and Motorway Police for the first time but our drivers won’t bother to follow their guidelines.”
The VC also summoned an emergency meeting to discuss the issue on Thursday.
ICS teachers and students visited the residence of deceased to condole with the bereaved family.
The ICS announced condolence reference at its auditorium today (Thursday at 12:00.  Alisha Khalid was laid to rest at local graveyard. Her fellows and teachers attended the funeral.
