HYDERABAD, March 17: Students, teachers and parents of the Model High School, old campus, staged a protest march from the school to the press club, condemning construction around the school building here on Friday.

They resented the attitude of Evacuee Trust Property which was claiming its proprietary rights over the land of Model School and disposing it of to different people at throw away prices.

The protesters including Dr Ellahi Bux, Dr Abid Saand, Ms. Zeenat Brohi, Syed Ahmed and Mohammad Shafiq, told journalists that there were unauthorised constructions around building which were destroying the academic environment. They demanded that action should be taken against people who were playing with future of students.
