Private school refuses to vacate dangerous building
Sukkar: Management of a private school, housed in Agha Badr-i-Alam
Durrani Law College, has refused to vacate the building, which has been declared
'dangerous' by the Sindh government, putting lives of hundreds of children in
danger. Professor Imtiaz Ali Soomro, principal of the college said
that the college had been shifted to nearby Government M.K. High School after
the Sindh government declared the building dangerous and asked the college
administration to vacate it. However, the private school which used college the
premises was not ready to shift, he said. The building was rented out to
the school when it was in good condition, he said. He said that the EDO
of education had also issued a notice to the school management, asking it to
vacate the building, and threatened it with cancellation of its registration but
to no avail. Therefore, the principal said, he appealed to parents of
students studying at the school to put pressure on the management to compel it
to vacate the building. Established in 1965, the college building has
not seen any major repairs since its commissioning, which has weakened its
structure and made it dilapidated. Despite Several attempts, principal
of the Indus Public School, Ms Raheela Qureshi, was not available for comments.
However, her brother Dr Fayyaz Qureshi rejected the charges levelled by the
college principal and said that that they had hired another building in the
locality and would shift the school to that building shortly. Dawn
