Woes of Mandi Bahauddin girl students

Published in Dawn
THIS is apropos of a news item (Nov 30). Girl students of a 
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.
