The national flag was hoisted on the campus by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Dr Junaid Sarfraz Khan, after which the national anthem was played. Special prayers were offered on this occasion for the solidarity and well-being of the country.
UHS VC called upon the students to play their role as researchers and service providers and make the country a cradle of peace, which had not come into existence merely with the resolution but was achieved after a great movement and enormous sacrifices.
