MINGORA:\u00a0 The devastating earthquake that hit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Monday 26 October has caused damages to the building of the lone Government Girls Post Graduate College where majority of the portions are risky to be used. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Girls and faculty staff on Wednesday spent the entire day in the college lawn as they feared to enter rooms and take classes. Over 1600 girl students study in the college.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not attend any class today as there are big cracks everywhere in the building caused by earthquake so we preferred to stay away from the classrooms as we are scared,\u201d Nausheen Ahmad a student of BA in the college said.<\/p>\n

She said students were scared to get into the classes due to the condition of the building.\u00a0 \u201cAnother earthquake can cause complete collapse to the damaged building,\u201d she said, adding that the government must take immediate step to provide us an alternate facility so that we did not suffer as our exams are closers.<\/p>\n

Talat Qamar, the principal of the college also said that when girls came to college and saw the destruction they were in panic.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents refused to go to any class as well the teachers and I also instructed them to stay away from the damaged blocks,\u201d she\u00a0told this scribe.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at the miserable condition of different blocks, I informed the district administration and secretary higher education at once. I don\u2019t know what to do as we are already short of space,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Zehra Idrees a computer science teacher said that they could not put the students\u2019 lives in threats by teaching them in the damaged classes.<\/p>\n

Deputy Commissioner Swat Mehmood Aslam Wazir along with the XEN C&W visited the college to check the damages.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuge number of students study in the college and we don\u2019t want to waste their education time but looking at some of the blocks which were damaged in the earthquake, I can\u2019t allow them to study there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that he would be able to take any decision after the engineers of C&W would give him final report. \u00a0\u201cI will also put request to government to issue funds for the minor repairs immediately so that the classes which are not much risky are made usable to the students,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
