Sir: It was surprising to know that in this modern era, thousands of children studying at government schools in the federal capital are deprived from their course books. While the new session was started on April 11, still 40 percent have not received their course books until now. It is the responsibility of NBF and Federal Education Department to give them books and students are suffering from the delay. I request the Federal Education Department to provide complete course books to the students. SANAULLAH SAMAD Turbat
