LAHORE: Punjab University (PU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Niaz Ahmad has written an email to all present students and alumni of the university to be a volunteer to create awareness among the public and help implement government instructions to curtail the spread of COVID-19.

In his email, the VC said since the creation of Pakistan, students of dear homeland had always played important roles in dealing with different crises and accomplished enviable feats of bravery.

“Today, the whole world, including Pakistan faces a grave concern; and again, the students have a great national and religious responsibility on their shoulders. They need to once again rise up against the situation and pen another story of courage by playing their part in it,” he said in the email.

He urged the students that being educated citizens of Pakistan, it was incumbent upon them to play their role in checking the spread of COVID-19. He advised that the students needed to create awareness among their relatives and neighbours.
