I gave up in the end. It could have been a life threatening situation, accident or robbery. I would like to add a comment regarding Co-Curriculum. As a Muslim I feel really sad when I saw from my hostel room, students doing field training during the Prophet Mohammed Birthday Celebration last year. THE road system has without a doubt improved over the years, though however, the standard and quality of work has dropped almost beyond belief.
Most road surfaces are uneven and breaks up within weeks of being put down.
This in turn leads to accidents as motorist try to avoid these holes. This would also insure that contractors use the correct material and procedures without cutting corners. The only way this ban could be revoked is if there was a change of mind by the Muslim authorities, which is not possible because we cannot change religion simply to suit our desires. And of curse we cannot challenge that there was a misinterpretation of the religion by these scholars because that would be a big insult to them. We must respect the fact that they are doing their job clarifying for us these aspects of our religion.
