Summary Government educational institutions have no clue what security is
LAHORE (Web Desk Dunya News) –Punjab government on Tuesday issued a notice saying private schools that have not made the required security preparations till 12th January will be closed. However, no such security arrangements are to be seen in any government run schools or colleges. Punjab University is one such example which remains oblivious to such notices.
According to the sources, all educational institutions have been closed after the tragic Peshawar incident and statements being given out to toughen up security of all educational institutions. All this has been limited to the private institutions in Punjab however. Government educational institutions have no clue what security is and some are not even sure what it actually means.
While schools and colleges of small cities and rural areas are far from such arrangements, the security situation of even the biggest university in Punjab is a joke. Open gates, no walls with just a small grid of steel bars is like an open mockery for those claiming to head the security of the country.
Even though guards are present on the main gate, anybody or any car can go to any area of the university premises without any questions being asked. The new road built from Jinnah Hospital to Kareem block is even more questionable as anybody can enter the university premises form there without any hindrance at all. The open field around the university is also ideal for hiding. Nobody questioned or paid any attention to this.
Precautionary and warning signs have been hung up by the administration on the grills marking the boundary of the university but that is all. The clumsy security situation of government institutions is an open question for the government which it isn’t answering.
