ssc exams Karachi
At least 250 students were unable to appear for their matriculation exams when unknown gunmen open fired on an exam centre in Malir early on Wednesday morning. The firing had continued unabated for almost 20 minutes, and had put the lives of the students under threat.
Roshan Ali Sheikh, District Coordination Officer (DCO) Karachi, has ordered Deputy Commissioner Malir to conduct an inquiry into the incident. “Apart from Malir, incidents of firing were also reported in Bin Qasim, Lyari and Mauripur,” he said, while adding that all sensitive areas will be guarded by security personnel for the protection of students.
Meanwhile, a source in the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) claimed that the armed men were activists of the Jeay Sindh Quami Mahaz (JSQM), a nationalist political party that had announced a strike call for Wednesday.
Rafia Mallah, Controller Examinations at the Board of Intermediary Education Karachi, said that the affected students will be asked to give their exams on 8th May in the morning.
“We will not let them waste a year,” she stated.She added that after the strike had been called by the JSQM, law and order situation had been expected in three towns, which included Gadap Town and Malir, but that the board decided to continue with examinations.
“Why should all 15 towns suffer if there is tension in just three,” she said, while explaining that appropriate security arrangements had been made in the areas under threat.“An incident in one school out of several should not be reason to blame the entire board,” she said in defense of the board’s decision to hold examinations.
Unfair means cases
A BSEK team visited schools in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal town and found six cases of unfair means plus two impersonations from a single school.
An FIR against the alleged students from the National High School is registered. The superintendent of the center is also given orders to take strict measures for the elimination of such activities, or be prepared to be black listed, said a statement issued from the BSEK.
Other raids were also carried out by Mansoob Siddiqui, director private schools Sindh, in New Karachi, Malir Colony and Kemari.Another such case was found in the Jackson Government Boys School, Jackson Bazar Kemari.
