Second , the students wore soldiers uniform reflecting their sister in Armed Forces Nursing Service ( AFNS) to show solidarity with soldiers at borders. Third , the the tablos and speeches by honorable guests and the Principal also reflected the situation at borders. The gathering of professionals from across the city and province made it a well representative congregation of professionals including Director Nur...
