Aabiroo Bilal, a little student from Razak Shah hamlet has said that she wants this school to be made functional, so that locals students may be able to get education in their own area. “I want this school to be made functional soon. We will study here, as we have to travel 2 kms to reach school, even at the time of rainfall/snowfall,” she said.
The locals demanded that abandoned school in the area must be made functional at the earliest, so that their wards can get admission at their own school. Earlier, Additional Deputy Commissioner, Tral, Shabir Ahmad Raina has said that “the school would be renovated, once the funds are available.”
