QUETTA: Hundreds of girls studying at a government-run college in Balochistan’s Barkhan town have been protesting for the past two days as teachers remain absent for several months, rendering the institution almost non-functional.

The protesting students held placards and banners inscribed with their demands and chanted slogans against the teachers for their absenteeism.

“Despite protesting for the past two days, no representative from the education department or local administration has appeared to address our concerns,” a student told Dawn on condition of anonymity.
