HYDERABAD: Sindh University (SU) Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Fateh Mohammad Burfat and Hyderabad Garrison General Officer Commanding (GOC) Major-General Mohammad Ali discussed issues of mutual interests, especially maintaining law and order, infrastructure of the SU and other problems faced by the institution.

The VC told the officer at a meeting held here in Hyderabad Garrison that the SU students were highly patriotic, disciplined, talented, law-abiding and industrious, a press release said on Wednesday. The Hyderabad GOC said the youth were Pakistan’s future.

He underlined the need to orient the youth towards their cultural ideology, ancestral roots, indigenous culture and genuine tenets of Islam; thus shielding them from the onslaught of the menace of extremism and terrorism spreading widely in the world, he added. He said it was mandatory for all institutions in the country to groom and develop the youth under safe and secure educational environment.

The GOC assured Dr Burfat of maximum cooperation and visiting the university soon.
