NED University of Engineering and Technology clarifies report on land

Karachi: NED University of Engineering and Technology has issued a clarification to news that appeared on June 08 titled 'KU and NED fight over 5 feet strip of deserted land'.

NED University was established in 1977 by the government, taking 100 acres from the large surplus of land available inside the 1,500-acre plot set aside earlier for the University of Karachi. Subsequently, more land was taken out from KU for IBA.

The only present outlet from NED University for hostel students going towards Maskan is by one path leading to Abul Hasan Ispahani Road through thick vegetation in the unoccupied part of KU. In view of the lack of any other outlet for hostel students, KU was requested to allow NED to clear one 30-feet wide strip outside its staff colony boundary wall. The area is unguarded and there have been several cases in which NED students have been robbed at gunpoint.

NED repeatedly requested KU to take action, following which the governor of Sindh directed KU to transfer the strip of land on March 28. NED University is, now, taking over the strip of land as authorized and has said there is no dispute. Daily Times
