The Story
Government schools for girls across Punjab are being left without basic safety and infrastructure. In Model Town B, Bahawalpur, Government Girls Primary School No. 3 has had no boundary wall since it collapsed during the monsoon season last year, leaving roughly 140 students without a working toilet, and stray dogs and motorbikes now cut through the open compound during class hours. In Shinkiari, Mansehra, Government Girls Primary School was rewired and fitted with fans and lights in 2023, but the electricity connection was never completed, so classrooms regularly exceed 38 degrees Celsius and attendance drops sharply after April. Outside Government Girls College Sheikhupura, broken streetlights have left the gate and pick-up point dark after evening classes since May 2026, with students and parents describing men loitering nearby. In each case, school administrators have submitted written requests to the relevant authorities, the District Education Authority, the Elementary and Secondary Education Department, and the Municipal Committee Sheikhupura, without resolution.
Rebuild the boundary wall and restore the washroom water connection at Government Girls Primary School No. 3, Bahawalpur; complete the pending PESCO electricity connection at Government Girls Primary School, Shinkiari; and restore working streetlights outside Government Girls College Sheikhupura.
Verified Facts
Government Girls Primary School No. 3, Model Town B, Bahawalpur has had no boundary wall since the old one collapsed during the monsoon season last year, and its washrooms have no water connection, leaving roughly 140 students without a toilet facility.1
The head teacher at the Bahawalpur school has submitted three written requests to the District Education Authority since January 2026 without a site visit yet.2
Government Girls Primary School, Shinkiari, Mansehra was rewired and fitted with fans and lights under a 2023 provincial scheme, but PESCO never completed the meter connection, so none of it has worked.3
The Elementary and Secondary Education Department has approved the Shinkiari connection fee twice in file notings, but the physical hook-up to the transformer 300 metres away has not happened.4
Streetlights outside Government Girls College Sheikhupura have been non-functional since around early May 2026, and a written request from the college to the Municipal Committee Sheikhupura has not resulted in repair.5

What happened
Three government schools for girls in Punjab are missing infrastructure that should be basic. Government Girls Primary School No. 3 in Model Town B, Bahawalpur has had no boundary wall since it collapsed during the monsoon season last year, and its two washroom stalls have no water connection, leaving around 140 students with no toilet facility. Government Girls Primary School in Shinkiari, Mansehra was rewired for fans and lights back in 2023, but PESCO never completed the meter connection, so none of it works, and classrooms exceed 38 degrees Celsius in summer. Outside Government Girls College Sheikhupura, the streetlights have been broken since early May 2026, leaving the gate and pick-up point dark after evening classes.
Why it matters
These are not cosmetic gaps: an open compound lets stray dogs and motorbikes through during class hours in Bahawalpur, heat is driving attendance down sharply after April in Shinkiari, and students and parents in Sheikhupura describe men loitering near the unlit gate making comments as students leave in the dark. In every case, school staff or administrators have already submitted written requests: three from the Bahawalpur head teacher since January, a connection fee approved twice on file in Shinkiari, and a May letter to the Municipal Committee in Sheikhupura, and none have been acted on.

No boundary wall. No electricity. No streetlights. Three government schools for girls in Punjab are missing the basics, and the paperwork asking for fixes has been sitting for months. #GirlsEducation #FixOurSchools #PakistanCivic #SchoolSafety
30-second script
HOOK: A school with no boundary wall. A school with wiring but no power. A school with a dark, unlit gate after evening classes. BODY: In Bahawalpur, roughly 140 girls at a government primary school have no working toilet because the boundary wall collapsed and the washrooms have no water. In Shinkiari, Mansehra, fans and lights were installed back in 2023, but PESCO never finished the connection, so classrooms hit 38 degrees Celsius in summer. In Sheikhupura, the streetlights outside a government college for girls have been dark since May, and students describe feeling unsafe walking out after evening classes. Every one of these has a written request sitting with an official department. CTA: Tag the District Education Authority, PESCO, and the Municipal Committee Sheikhupura. Ask them for a date.

Asked the headmistress about the missing boundary wall. She's been requesting it for four years. #GirlsSchoolsPK
The only girls' school in this union council has a collapsed roof in two classrooms. Still being used. #GirlsSchoolsPK
This girls' primary school has no boundary wall and one working toilet for 200 students. #GirlsSchoolsPK
Classrooms with no furniture — girls sitting on the floor because the benches were never delivered. #GirlsSchoolsPK
No electricity, no fans, 45 degrees outside — this is a girls' secondary school in session right now. #GirlsSchoolsPK
