The government has decided to restore the registration of a Punjab College campus that was previously suspended following a controversial rape case involving a student. The case, which gained widespread attention, led to the revocation of the campus’s registration as authorities faced mounting pressure from activists and the public to address issues of student safety and accountability.
After thorough deliberation, government officials have confirmed that the registration will be reinstated under certain conditions. These include the implementation of enhanced security protocols on campus, increased surveillance, and the formation of a special committee to ensure student welfare and protection.
A senior official from the Education Department explained, “We have decided to restore the campus’s registration after reviewing all aspects of the case. However, stringent measures will be enforced to ensure the safety and security of all students. We want to assure the public that the administration will be held accountable for maintaining a safe environment.”
The rape allegations, which sparked outrage across the region, are still under investigation. Legal proceedings against the accused are ongoing, with authorities emphasizing the need for justice and transparency. Meanwhile, the college administration has pledged full cooperation with both the investigation and the government’s conditions for reopening the campus.
Student bodies have expressed mixed reactions to the government’s decision. While some have welcomed the move, citing the need for continuity in education, others are calling for more substantial reforms to prevent such incidents in the future. “Restoring the campus’s registration is only a partial solution. We demand real change in how student safety is addressed,” said one student leader.
This case continues to be closely monitored by both the media and the public, with many awaiting the outcome of the legal proceedings and the effectiveness of the newly imposed measures.
