Schools reopen in Sukkur after four months

Schools in the city reopened after remaining closed for more than four months. The schools were to reopen on August 1 after a two-month summer vacation. The internally displaced persons from Jacobabad, Kashmore and Shikarpur districts started coming to Sukkur from the first week of August and were accommodated in the government school buildings and colleges besides tents at open places.
In schools and colleges, where IDPs were staying, concerned staff was deployed to look after both the IDPs and the building structures. EDO Education Sukkur Jay Ram Das told newsmen that the department was conducting a survey of such schools and hoped that the survey would be completed within three days. He said not only furniture, but at some places, the IDPs had also damaged the school buildings. He said that after the survey they would write to high ups seeking permission for necessary repair and maintenance work of the damaged structures.
