1,800 schools awaiting reconstruction 14 years after earthquake
|
[DAWN] The federal and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa governments have failed to reconstruct around 1,800 government schools in the province even 14 years after their destruction by a 7.6 earthquake on Oct 8, 2005.
These schools are located in Abbottabad

districts.
Official sources said a lack of funds and disinterest of the authorities had delayed the reconstruction of schools and thus, making students attend classes in adverse conditions.
They said those students from hilly areas were exposed to harsh weather in the winter season, especially due to heavy snowfall.
The sources said the quake-hit schools had been functioning in rented places or in tents for the last 14 years.
They said the 2005 earthquake had damaged 3,660 government schools in five districts.
The sources said the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority had conducted a damage survey soon after it assumed the responsibility of rebuilding 2,900 destroyed schools in the province.
They said the Erra had so far reconstructed 1,800 schools but work on 1,100 schools had yet to be completed.
The sources said after the Erra’s survey was over, the authorities pulled down 760 schools, which were partially damaged and could be repaired.
