KHAIRPUR, Feb 28: Students of the Government Primary PC School (girls), Khairpur, boycotted classes and held a demonstration at the Chhati chowk here on Tuesday in protest against shortage of teachers and dilapidated condition of the school building.

They raised slogans against the administration of the Sindh Bureau of Curriculum, which runs the school.

The students said the school was short of teachers since long, adding that there were only four teachers for more than 400 students. They said some teachers were teaching in the school on voluntary basis.

All-Sindh PC School Teachers Association general secretary Ahmad Ali Amjad Durrani told journalists that the building of the Khairpur primary school was in dilapidated condition. He said students, teachers and the headmistress of the school had been injured when the roof of the school had collapsed a few years ago.

MURDER CASE: The Kotdiji police here on Monday registered a case of Mir Khan Jatoi’s murder against seven people on a complaint of Shahnawaz, brother of the deceased.

The complainant stated in the FIR that driver Mohammad Bux and conductor Liaquat Ali Dahar of Royal City Coach and five other people were involved in the robbery of the coach on Saturday night in which his brother was killed and three other passengers were injured.
