KOHAT: The Darra Adamkhel chapter of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Professors and Lecturers Association has opposed the shifting of girls’ college to the building of boys degree college.

Speaking at a meeting on Friday, members of the association said as the Fata University was already operating in the boys college building, the shifting of girls’ classes there would cause problems for them and violate the tribal social and cultural norms.

The meeting was chaired by Prof Yaseenur Rehman.

Through a resolution, the participants condemned the decision and said as a new building of the girls’ college had been constructed near the Kohat tunnel, so the classes should be shifted there.

They said the girls coming from far-off areas would face problems if their classes were shifted to the boys’ college, which was located on the main Indus Highway.

WORKSHOP: Commissioner Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Commission Riaz Khan Daudzai has underlined the need for creating awareness among the people about how to access the relevant information from government departments.

He also said it was duty of the public information officers to provide the required information to people as it was their fundamental right under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Right to Information Act.

He stated this while addressing a workshop on RTI Act held in Orakzai district the other day. Public information officers, heads and representatives of various departments were present on the occasion.

Additional deputy commissioner Nadeemullah Khan was also in attendance.

On this occasion, Mr Nadeemullah asked the officers to refrain from hiding information from the public.
