MURREE, March 12: Security concerns have forced Jesus and Mary School administration to end its boarding facility affecting a large number of students from all over the country.

Jesus & Marry School is functioning at Pindi Point Murree since British era, in late 1930s, and providing quality education and boarding facility to a large number of girl students.

But now the school administration has decided to end boarding facility creating restlessness among the parents and students.

Jesus & Mary is a Christian missionary school and a large number of eminent girl students had received education in this school and later got national and international fame.

PPP late chairperson Benazir Bhutto also received her early education in this school.

Raja Daftar Abbasi President PML-N Murree, Nazir Abbasi Advocate and many other notables showed their concerns over this decision of the school administration and said that a large number of people used to get their girls admitted in the institution with peace of mind. Even overseas Pakistanis were utilising the school’s boarding facility.

When the administration of Jesus & Marry School was contacted by this correspondent it blamed the prevailing security condition in the country for this decision.
