BAHAWALPUR
The building of Government Primary School at Basti Kumharan near Rahim Yar Khan is in very dilapidated condition and feared to collapse at any moment thus the lives of hundreds of students are in danger.
The students are scared of even sitting in the classrooms. More than 400 students are being educated in the school where they are forced to sit under the open sky during the study process.

Also the sewerage system has choked up and water has accumulated in and around the school. As the school building’s ground floor is four feet below the earth level, sewage has hallowed the foundations of the building and made it very difficult for students and faculty to keep coming to the school.
Its windows and doors are also in very bad shape, cracks have appeared in the walls. Administration said that they have informed the higher authorities several time about the building’s situation but no one has taken action in this regard. Teachers Muhammad Farhan Azam, Muhammd Tehseen and others including the parents of the students demanded reconstruct of a new building for the school.
