Timely supply of textbooks demanded

CHITRAL: Parents have demanded of the government to make arrangements for transportation of free textbooks to government schools in Chitral.
They complained that last year, a lot of time had been wasted in this regard. They said that the district should be given priority in provision of textbooks due to its remoteness.
They said that the closure of Lowari tunnel should not be made an excuse for further delay in carrying the books as the books could be transported through Afghanistan.
“Chitral is spread on an area of 14,850 square/kilometres and contains 32 distant valleys and it will take anther two months to pass on the books to the schools situated there,” a local said.--Zahiruddin
