PESHAWAR, March 17: Malakand district Nazim Muhammad Hamayun Khan has called upon the students to pay full attention to Islamic studies and imbibe a true spirit of a Muslim scholar.

The district government is utilizing a considerable portion of its budget to provide various facilities in schools and efforts are under way to make Islamic teachings compulsory and to equip all the academic institutions with “super” Islamic modalities, he said, while speaking to the students and teachers of a school on Saturday.

Keeping in view the limited financial resources in the district, the private sector was being encouraged to enable the people to have an access to the academic studies, he added.—APP
