Torrential rains and flash floods have damaged the Government High School in Zen Tarah, Wali Khel, Landi Kotal, Khyber district, washing away its boundary wall and science laboratory. The incident has raised concerns over the safety and education of nearly 1,500 students enrolled at the school.
Local officials confirmed the damage, stating that the school's infrastructure suffered significant destruction. The boundary wall collapse poses a security risk, while the loss of the science lab disrupts practical learning for students.
