Parents, students protest against attempt to vacate school

Teachers, parents and students staged a protest against the order to vacate a government school in Soldier Bazaar, Karachi. The future of more than 700 students is in danger.

According to details, teachers, students and parents protested in the school against the possible attempt to vacate the government school once again. The protestors appealed to the education minister to take notice of the issue of vacating the school.

According to the education department officials and administration, 790 students are studying in the only government school in Soldier Bazaar.

Protesters said they will move court to stop the closure of 90-year-old school.

In 2017 they got relief from the court. The original owners of the property residing abroad will also be contacted. Someone wants to take possession by allegedly tampering with documents.

DO East Shahana Parveen while talking to the media said that they received a court order to vacate the school at night, but staff or police did not come today for implementation.

She said that the order of the court was no less than a shock. She said that court will be approached against the builder and stay order will be taken.

She said that the private party allegedly falsified the documents. It should be remembered that there was an attempt to vacate the school in 2017 as well.

There was a strong protest and sloganeering by the students in the school. Parents and workers of political parties also participated in the protest.
