Woes of girl students in Mandi Bahauddin

Published in Daily Times 
Female students of a government polytech institute, are suffering from a nuisance and may drop out without completing their courses. Owing to the emergence of a wagon stop and a mini-market of second-hand winter articles in front of their institute, it has become nearly impossible for students to walk on the footpath making their way to the institute. Besides denying the girls the right to enter their institute, owing to the presence of an assortment of people waiting for transport right outside the gate of their college, girls are suffering mental torture as abusive remarks are passed on them every now and then. This has not only destroyed the peace of mind of the students but has also worried the parents of some 250 girls being trained in the institution in various fields. The parents of the students have repeatedly approached the principal, but she maintains that despite concerted efforts and stern protests on her part, the authorities concerned have turned a deaf ear to her appeals as these encroachments seem to have emerged with the active support of the administration. All the concerned authorities are strongly appealed to to take this matter seriously and remove these encroachments, which have put the future of some 250 students at stake.

government p institute s, are up against a problem 
and may resort to dropping out without completing their courses. 
A wagon stop and an illegal mini-market of secondhand 
winter clothing have emerged in front of their institute, 
making it nearly impossible for girl students to walk
on the footpath towards the institute.

The girls are reportedly denied the right to enter their institute 

as people of all kinds of backgrounds hurl abusive remarks on 
them every now and then, causing mental torture
and anguish to the girls. Parents of these 250 girls are worried 
about their safety. The parents have repeatedly approached 
the principal but she maintains that despite efforts 
and strong protests the authorities concerned have turned a deaf ear.

The authorities must take this matter seriously and

remove these encroachments as soon as possible.
