Education Minister Tarakai Cancels Chitral Exams

Heavy rains in Chitral have led to the cancellation of multiple matriculation annual papers by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. The decision was made during a meeting chaired by Education Minister Faisal Khan Tarakai in Peshawar. The exams will be rescheduled for a later date in the affected region. However, examinations in other cities will proceed as planned.

The Education Minister emphasized the importance of ensuring the readiness of examination staff and implementing stringent security measures. He also issued a stern warning against any individuals involved in leaking board papers, indicating that strict action would be taken against them.

The recent heavy rains in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have resulted in tragic incidents, with the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) reporting 21 fatalities across the province. The downpour caused 330 incidents of roof and wall collapses, leading to the destruction of 53 houses and damage to 277 structures. Additionally, 32 individuals sustained injuries in various incidents.

In light of these developments, the government is taking necessary precautions to address the challenges posed by the inclement weather and ensure the safety and well-being of the residents in the affected areas.
