Influential Individuals Accused of Obstructing School Construction, Vandalism and Taking Away Records and Solar System; Principal Benazir Rajar Approaches Court

Jamshoro (Bureau Report):

Principal Benazir Rajar has approached the court against alleged attempts to obstruct the construction of an elementary school building in Khasai, an area of Manjhand Tehsil, harass children and teachers, and force the closure of the educational institution.

Through Supreme Court lawyer Agha Kashif Hussain, she filed a petition before a court in Jamshoro.

Speaking to the media on the court premises, Benazir Rajar said that she purchased a plot from Khamiso Shoro in 2016 and constructed a school there. In 2025, she purchased another plot from Tajo Shoro through a legal agreement, launched the Penza Education System and established an elementary school in the Manjhand Tehsil area.

According to her, around 250 children from the area are currently enrolled at the school. However, she alleged that certain influential individuals, including Taj Muhammad Shoro and Khamiso Shoro, have been creating obstacles to the construction of the school building.

Benazir Rajar alleged that the school was attacked and vandalized on several occasions, while the school’s solar system and records were also allegedly taken away.

She said she had been receiving death threats and was being continuously harassed. She further alleged that Khamiso Shoro, Tajo Shoro and some other influential individuals were interfering in the school’s educational activities and allegedly had the backing of certain influential elements.

According to the principal, continued threats and an atmosphere of fear had forced several children to stop attending school, seriously affecting their education.

She said applications had also been submitted to the Deputy Commissioner Jamshoro and Senior Superintendent of Police Jamshoro regarding the matter, but no substantial action had been taken so far.

Benazir Rajar said the purpose of approaching the court was to seek protection for the children, teachers and school and to ensure that educational activities could continue without fear.

She demanded that the district administration and police immediately take notice of the situation, provide security to the school, and conduct an impartial investigation into the alleged threats, harassment, vandalism and removal of school equipment and records.

She also called for measures to protect the educational future of more than 250 children in the area.

“Depriving children of education is unacceptable under any circumstances,” she said, urging the administration to act according to the law without being influenced by powerful individuals and to provide full protection to the school, students and teachers.
