The Peshawar Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has announced that the Pakistan Studies exam for 176 students of Exam Hall No 276, located in Hashtnagri, will be re-conducted on May 29.
The decision comes in the wake of a disruptive incident in which 'miscreants' tore up the exam papers. Authorities have been directed to register a formal case against those involved and an inquiry has been ordered by the Additional Deputy Commissioner General.
According to reports, the incident took place when a group of individuals, under the guise of a student protest, snatched and tore the exam papers from the superintendent assigned at Brilliant College, Dalazak Road.
Taking swift notice of the situation, Commissioner of Peshawar Division and Chairman of the Peshawar Board, Riaz Khan Mehsud, ordered an immediate investigation and strict action against the perpetrators.
Commissioner stated that the act was a deliberate attempt by disruptive elements to sabotage the examination process.
