After the recent rain and flood goods that lay waste to the country, I want to roll Balochistan for some alleviation work. I was stupefied to see the abysmal stale of schools there. Since the flood-affected people have been adapting in school, the students are forced to continue their classes in collapsible shelters or under trees.

This school setup reminds me of the past when there was neither electricity nor proper classrooms for students to be taught under the shelter of trees sitting on the ground. Rehabilitation of the displaced people is being carried out only in urban centers of the province. Unhappily, rural areas which suffered the most are left to search for their mean.

This should have never been the case if schools were kept for studying and tents were provided to the people who lost their homes until their areas were cleared and floodwater was drained out of their villages and towns. However, as the schools are being used as temporary shelters for the flood victims are might experience the same again in the future and the history may repeat itself every time.

The government has failed to manage the calamity. This disaster and evacuation of students from schools will again create a menace and will lead to disturbances in their education people are already in bad situations.
