Site for two Danish schools declared unsuitable
Attock: The consultant for Danish School System has declared the site
selected for establishment of two schools in Rakh Mari village of Jand tehsil
unsuitable. After inspecting the site, the consultant said the area was
very far off having difficult, inadequate road access and serious security
hazards besides absence of infrastructure. If executed, the funds amounting to
Rs486 million would be at stake, it was stated. Director Management and
Implementation, Punjab Danish School System (PDSS), in a letter informed the
office of district coordination officer (DCO) on August 31 that the consultant,
MS Sohail Saeed & Associates, who had been assigned the design work of two
Danish schools of boys and girls at Jand Tehsil, had visited the site and
pointed out that the 1,600 kanals selected for the construction of schools was
remotely located and sparsely populated. Similarly, the topography of
the site is undulating and quite difficult with respect to master planning and
infrastructure development. Moreover, there is no water supply, electricity and
gas available in the close proximity to the project area which has to be fetched
from far distance. Besides, the visual inspection of the site showed that the
geology and sub-strata of the project area was not uniform all along the site
while a large portion of the site was broken leaving lesser area for
construction. The director PDSS asked the DCO office to intimate the
factual position to his office to ensure the execution of project was
unhampered. But no report has been submitted to the PDSS in this regard.
Managing director and chief executive PDSS, in a letter on September 9,
also informed the commissioner of Rawalpindi division about the consultant's
reservations. Meanwhile, PDSS sources disclosed that despite the
consultant's report, some bureaucratic figures were still insisting on
construction of schools at the same site to make the pioneer of this system,
Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, happy as he wanted early execution of the
project. But if the project is executed in haste, it will cause a loss to the
public exchequer. Dawn
