PESHAWAR, Nov 11: NWFP’s Senior Minister Sirajul Haq has appreciated the role of students taking part in relief work in earthquake-affected areas. He acknowledged that students had always played a key role at every critical juncture.
He was talking to a delegation of students of the Edwards College, Peshawar, at Markaz-e-Mashawarat here on Friday.
The delegation was led by Javed Shah Afridi, President, Social Welfare Society of Edwards College Peshawar. The society had donated Rs200,000 for quake-affected people.
Mr Haq said students suffered the most in the earthquake as thousands of them perished in schools and colleges while survivors were left with nothing to continue their broken chain of education.
However, he said, it was a good omen that students from all over the country took part in relief and rescue operations in quake-affected areas.
UTILIZING RESOURCES: The senior minister, while addressing a meeting of the Provincial Economic Reforms Commission at the Civil Secretariat Peshawar on Friday, urged the need for utilizing all available resources for rehabilitation of the quake-affected people and using the government machinery in the reconstruction work.
The meeting took stock of the two-point agenda of reviewing provincial finance rules in the light of the Quran and Sunnah as well as looking into the recommendations for streamlining reconstruction work.
The meeting was presided over by Justice Fida Mohammad.
