QUETTA: The Balochistan government has initiated the formal process to establish a girls’ school in Killi Babri, Hanna Urak, following an announcement by the chief minister during his visit to the village to offer condolences to families of those martyred in recent terrorist attack.

Shahid Rind, aide to the Chief Minister for Media and Political Affairs, said the establishment of a girls’ school in Killi Babri, Hanna Urak, will provide local girls with access to modern education within their own area, promoting female education while easing difficulties faced by parents who currently have limited educational facilities nearby.
