CHARSADDA: The administration of Bacha Khan Varsity launched first-ever shuttle bus service to provide transport facility to students and faculty members.

Vice Chancellor (VC) Prof Dr Zahid Hussain on Wednesday formally inaugurated the shuttle bus service. A large number of students and faculty members were present in the inaugural ceremony. The VC told reporters that the government should give the universities support to help them become financially sound because the majority of the province’s universities were facing financial hardships.

He stated that the varsity had made the decision to launch the shuttle bus service, which would help to generate income in addition to giving teachers and students convenient access to the institution.

MAN INJURED: A man suffered injuries in a firing incident at Shabqadar Judicial Complex. The injured person, identified as Nasir, was brought to appear before a court by the police in a murder case when the accused Kamran opened fire and injured him. The police arrested the accused on the spot and recovered weapon from his possession. The injured was shifted to the THQ hospital for medical treatment.

Meanwhile, the district administration launched a drive to eradicate drug use, firing in the air and other social offences, such as one-wheeling and the display of weapons. Circle SDPOs and SHOs visited several schools as part of the effort to create awareness about prevention and eradication of narcotics. They spoke with students and urged them to take part in healthy activities and refrain from anti-social behaviour.
