Poor performance of B.I.S.E Peshawar Website

Through your esteemed daily I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities of Board of intermediate Secondary Education (B.I.S.E) towards the poor performance of board website. When results of secondary exam was declared, it was announced that results will be displayed on B.I.S.E website. But it didn�t happen. Students were eager to know about their results, but their efforts failed when they clicked the board website. Board website never opened despite continuous efforts. Message always appears on screen that �This account has been suspended, please contact the billing/support department as shows as possible.� It shows the competence of board staff and their technical knowledge. The same case happened last year also. Board website disappointed every one when students tried to get their results known. It was hoped, that after a lapse of a year, board staff would improve their technical knowledge. But, still students had to approach bookshops to now their result.

It is very strange, that in this age of information technology, our organizations are lacking modern means of administration. B.I.S.E Peshawar still uses traditional methods, which is a matter of great. Now that, various institutes have been computerized, B.I.S.E. Peshawar, which is an important govt. organisation, should also be restructured on modern lines. Web designers of board should pay proper attention to improve their performance. In this way B.I.S.E Peshawar will benefit people at their doorstep.

PTV and Shandur Letter II

Dear Editor,

This has reference to Dr Inayatullah Faizi's recently published letter "PTV and Shandur" in chitraltimes.com. I want to complement Dr Faizi for concise comments on the pathetic disposition of PTV commentators during the three days Shandur festival. My views are not different from what the learned writer has expressed. We the family members enjoyed the festival with the kind courtesy of PTV and Telenor for which they deserve our appreciations. But at the same time we did feel the substandard commentary, failing to understand why the PTV failed to tap the learned resource persons, the one like the writer himself.

Please convey my best wishes and deep appreciations to PTV once again and also the anticipation for visible improvement in the proffesional standard that has always been hallmark of the national channel. I do request the PTV authorities to give coverage to other festivals in Chitral, notably the coming Baroghil festival ( July 15-17). It will go a long way in attracting increased number of tourists thus bringing socio-economic development to the people and their abode.
