Sangrur, June 14

The Leader of Opposition (LOP), Harpal Cheema, today said CM Capt Amarinder Singh had given an assurance of looking into the matter of Akal Degree College for Women putting an end to bachelor’s in arts (BA) degree in the college.

The reply has come in response of Cheema’s letter to the CM, wherein he had brought forward the decision of the college to stop offering the BA degree course.

“I have received a letter from Punjab CM wherein he has assured to look into the attempts of Akal Degree College management to put an end to the BA course immediately. We won’t allow the closure of BA degree course in the college,” said Cheema.

Dr AS Mann, a local social worker and RTI Activist, said it was the only women college in the area. If the college stopped offering the course, it would affect the studies of local girls.
