"I suggest to Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Barrister Masood Kausar and Corps Commander Peshawar to shift this Cadet College to Bannu to ensure uninterrupted education for 460 students," Principal, Cadet College Razmak, Major (retd) Manzoor Hussain Qureshi said on telephone on Tuesday.
He said that the College was previously shifted to Peshawar but it would be appropriate to shift it to nearby city of Bannu. "We will have to hire some building in Bannu to continue the process of giving education to our students and it will be better option instead of closing down the institution," he added.
However, the parents of students of this Cadet College told this scribe on Tuesday that they would appeal to the concerned authorities that if there were responsible authorities or rulers in the country the parent of the cadets prayed that for God's sake take pity upon their children and shift the college to some secure and safe city.
"Once again the college may kindly be shifted to some safe place just to avoid loss of their academic year," the parents added. They said that they were not ready to send back their sons to an unsafe place so the government should take a decision to shift the college until normalcy is restored.
This Cadet College was closed on 21st August, 2011 till Sept 11. When the cadets were let there by their parents to Cantt Area Bannu, they informed that the college would now remain closed till 24th September or till further orders due to recent terrorist attacks on the army camp situated at the college premises.
Cadet College Razmak is a unique prestigious Institution established in 1978 under Presidential Resolution in the remote area of North Waziristan Agency (Fata). The institution has distinguished itself.
On May 29 the cadets were re-shifted to the original premises under the cover of Army convoys without obtaining prior permission of the authorities concerned in Fata Secretariat. The parents complain that shelling and missile attacks on the college was a daily routine and the hostel including conference halls were damaged by terrorist attacks from their shelter located nearby in Shawal Hills. A few employees of college were also injured. Surprisingly the students and staff have been directed not to disclose these attacks.
