Govt School in Karachi’s FB Area Vandalised

KARACHI: Students and teachers of a government-run school in the city’s FB Area were busy putting furniture and books in place on Wednesday after some people vandalised the property a day earlier.

According to the school incharge, Tariq Ali, unidentified persons along with the police damaged the school property and all the records that were inside a day earlier.

They claimed ownership of the school, which is why they wanted to vacate the property.

However, students and teachers reached the school next day only to find the classrooms and laboratories upside down. Even the important files were thrown out of the office cupboards.

The students and teachers started putting furniture and books in their place in order to continue with routine classes.

Teachers said the vandalised school is the same institute where former cricketer of Pakistan, Javed Miandad, received his early education from.

Last year, similar incident happened at a government-run school in the city’s Soldier Bazar premises.

Land mafia demolished part of the school, claiming that they had purchased the property. But reports stated the school building was owned by the government and was also declared a heritage site by the Sindh Culture Department.

The Jufelhurst School was established in 1931 by Sybil D’Abero who had also built her 500-yard residence within the school boundary.
