Hazro: District Coordination Officer (DCO) Saqib Zafar had ordered a probe into
the violent punishment meted out to a class-VIII student in Hazro tehsil.
The officials said
Mohammad Imran, a resident of Farmuli Mullah village filed a complaint with the
DCO, stating that his son, Mohammad Muneeb, was studying in a local private
school.
Mr Imran said on December 18, Muneeb’s class teacher punished the
boy by hitting him with a steel ruler, despite the fact that the government had
strictly banned corporal punishment. The severe hitting caused bleeding from the
boy’s hands.
“The incident not only resulted in signs of trauma among the
parents but also left the boy fearing from going to school,” he
added.
Taking a strong exception to the teacher’s act, DCO Zafar asked
the education department to investigate the incident.
When contacted,
Deputy District Officer (Education) Hazro Malik Mohsin Abbas said an inquiry was
underway. Mr Abbas said he also visited the private school to gather the
facts.
