FATA residents demanded separate exams hall for female condidates

KHYBER AGENCY:  Tribal elders and parents of the girl students threatened that they would not allow female students to appear in Bachelor(BA, BSc)examinations if a separate hall was not set up for the girls’ candidates in Government Degree College Landikotal(GDCL).
A score of tribal elders and parents of girls’ students Friday lodged media complaint that BA, BSc exams were about to start in few days but the government had not so far set up a separate examination hall for the tribal girls’ students. They said that more than one hundred girls’ candidates from Landikotal have been issued roll numbers who supposed to appear in Peshawar based examination hall.
Abdur Rauf Shinwari flanked by several other parents of the students said that it would raise a clash between locals and the education department if a separate hall was not set up for girls. He said sending their female students to Peshawar in such a unfavorable law and order situation would further increase their miseries. 
 Shinwari said travelling on Landikotal-Peshawar was a risky job for the girls’ students to reach to their examination hall in Peshawar. He demanded of the Peshawar University administration to approve an exam hall for girls’ candidate in the compound of Landikotal Degree College in order to save the future of the tribal students.
Maulana Rafiq said that dozens of local girls had received their roll numbers to appear in BA, BSc exams scheduled in the different Peshawar collages and Universities’ halls. He regretted that appearance of Landikotal girls’ students in various Peshawar colleges would not be acceptable to them said that they would be compelled to abandon their girls from exams.
The elders said that they have no enough resources to rent a home or hostel for their daughters and sisters to stay there during the exams. They accused that it would be considered a deliberate attempt to keep tribal girls away from light of education if their moral and legal demand was not addressed. If our daughters were not permitted to appear for exams in Landikotal, they warned they would resort protesting against the brutal attitude.  

The elders demanded of the newly appointed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan and other high ups to take serious notice and allocate a separate examination hall for female candidates in Landikotal
