‘College won’t close,’ Al Falah faculty assures amid terror module probe

Amid the ongoing investigation into the Delhi blast and the alleged terror module linked to doctors at Al Falah University, anxious parents of several students visited the campus on Saturday seeking clarity on the future of the institution. They submitted a letter addressed to the Vice-Chancellor, urging intervention and reassurance regarding the academic and professional prospects of their children.

A professor at the university met the visiting parents and assured them that the medical college would continue functioning. Around 18 parents reached the campus and expressed fears that recent developments could jeopardise the institution’s stability and, consequently, their children’s future.

In their letter, the parents wrote that the future of “hundreds of enrolled students stands at great risk.”

Khushpal Singh, parent of an MBBS student, said: “We had some doubts regarding the future of our children only who are pursuing MBBS and nothing to do with any type of terror module, because it's work of security agencies. We have given representation to the management, which they have received and assured us verbally that our children's future is safe and the college will not be closed.”

Parents also emphasised that students inside the university premises were safe and continuing their studies without disruption.

The letter submitted to the VC stated: “We, the parents of students enrolled at Al Falah Medical College, Faridabad, are making this representation with concern regarding the recent developments concerning the institution. As widely reported, the college is currently facing serious regulatory and security issues, including possible withdrawal of recognition by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and suspension by the Association of Indian Universities, as well as ongoing investigation that jeopardise its operational viability.”

It further added: “In light of these unprecedented and disruptive events, the future of hundreds of enrolled students stands at great risk. We seek intervention and clarity regarding the academic and professional future of our children owing to the current situation.”
