The learners blamed that instead of facilitating them at their own college, the necessary equipment from Landi Kotal college zoology lab were reallocated to furnish Jamrud College and then asked them to attend their rest of classes in the later one that was unacceptable.
It is not only physical and economical sufferings for the students to travel more than forty kilometers to join their rest classes of six semesters in Jamrud College, but also put in risk the future of a dozen students, they regretted.
The students expressed their dissatisfaction over the dilapidated condition of the government degree college, Landi Kotal and said increase in college fee from Rs.5000 to Rs.12000, shortage of qualified teaching staff would further motivate the UoP officials to drop computer science and other subjects from the BS facility.

They warned that if the decision of shifting classes to Jamrud College was not revised then they would come to the streets to defend their rights.
