CHITRAL: The residents of Khuzh village have expressed concern over the closure of girls school run by Aga Khan Education Service, Pakistan, (AKESP) in their locality.

Mashhood Ahmed, Mirza Nadir, Naeem Khan and others said that they were saddened by the information that the school was being closed as their daughters would not be able to continue their education now.
