Search begins to find site for cadet college in Chitral



CHITRAL: The commandant of the Chitral Scouts has been tasked with searching a suitable place for the establishment of a cadet college in the landlocked district.

Several sites, including Kaghlasht, Mori Lasht, Lawi (Drosh), Ayun and Chitral city are being considered to set up the cadet college in the largest district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It may be mentioned that MNA Shahzada Iftikharuddin had appealed to the prime minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor and corps commander Peshawar to help establish a cadet college in the district.

“It would be a giant step and a major breakthrough in providing quality education to the youth in Chitral as they are faced with a stiff competition from students from other districts,” said the MNA when contacted by telephone.

Meanwhile, President Mamnoon Hussain has ordered the establishment of sub-campuses of the Federal Urdu University in Booni, Chitral and Drosh. The MNA said he had sent a letter to the president, requesting him to order the establishment of the sub-campuses.

He said he had also held a meeting with the vice-chancellor of the Federal Urdu University in January 2014 and requested him to include degrees in Hotel, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Mining, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The News 29 Oct 14
