The university has become a coronavirus hot spot due to non-compliance of health-related guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs), as the university administration is forcing the staff members, including those showing symptoms, to ensure their presence on campus. The staffer lamented that the newly-appointed Assistant Professor Muzamil, who tested positive three days ago, was seen roaming freely in the university and was mingling with people. PMAS administration, however, asked 50 per cent of its staffers to ensure their presence. PhDs and MPhil students were also asked to come to the university, while BS/BSc and MS/MSc students would not attend classes. The sources said that the PhD and MPhil students would use labs, where they would be more exposed to the virus.
