BADIN, Sept 3: District Nazim Ali Anwar Halepoto said on Monday that the British Petroleum Pakistan was bound to bring a positive change in the lives of people of its concession area by enhancing access to quality education, particularly for girls.

He said at a ceremony for handing over keys of a van the company had donated to Matli Girls College on Monday that the company’s services for community welfare in the district were commendable.
