GARDEZ (Pajhwok): More than a dozen schools for girls closed by Taliban, officials said on Saturday.
The schools had been closed for the past four years but government officials say efforts are being made to reopen the schools. Provincial authorities have taken up the issue with the militants. Progress in this regard, however, remains elusive.
Governor Shamim Khan Katawazi said on the sidelines of Saturday’s ceremony marking the commencement of the new academic year, they held negotiation with the Taliban through tribal leaders to ascertain reasons . . .
