QUETTA, Nov 7: The Balochistan University reopened after three weeks on Friday, following an agreement between the university administration and representatives of student organisations and political parties on a 24-point code of conduct.

The university was closed on Oct 15 after a clash between two student organisations.

The agreement on code of conduct was reached at a meeting presided over by vice-chancellor Dr Masoom Khan Yasinzai and attended by Habib Jalib Baloch of Balochistan National Party-Mengal, Usman Kakar of Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Khudadad Khan of Awami National Party, Mir Tahir Bizenjo of National Party, Shahzeb Baloch of Baloch Students Organisation (Azad), Ahmed Jan of Pakhtun-khwa Students Organisation, Javed Baloch of Baloch Students Organisation-Mohinuddin, Jehanzeb Tareen of Pakhtun Students Federation, Abdullah Baloch of Baloch Students Organisation-Pujar, Ataullah Kakar of Jamiat Tulba-i-Islam and Zakir Hus-sain of Hazara Students Federation.

Under the agreement, the student organisations will abide by rules and maintain a peaceful atmosphere on the campus, and will not interfere in actions taken by the administration against students found in cheating in examinations.

The agreement requires students living in hostels to abide by rules. No outsider will be allowed to live in hostels and rooms will be allotted on the basis of merit.

The agreement makes 75 per cent attendance mandatory for submission of examination forms.
