Assalam u alaikum,
Perhaps this is not exactly encouraging for all of us who are earnestly awaiting the approval. The Civil Defence office asked us to get the site drawings stamped from the Civil Defense section in the Amanah office. This adds another 2 days to the process. We wish these requirements are specified to us at the same time, but these have been stated sequentially. We are expecting to complete this task by tommorrow and approach the Civil Defence authority on Wed, or tomorrow if possible.
We have been receiving parent queries who feel the wait is getting out of control and some feel we are hiding something.
The fact is that the school is very transparent in reporting the status of the issues. We have put before you the main problem and kept you informed about the measures being taken to re-open the school. In the beginning we tried to get a temporary approval, but we were not successful. Although we continued our efforts in this direction, we were progressing on the steps to get a permanent solution. About 4 weeks back, the case in Amanah was discussed, and it came as a relief, Alhamdulillah, that our re-opening will not be for a short period. Since then the progress has been shared with parents at regular intervals. Please note that we mentioned about our confidence only after we got the good news from Amanah. Until that time we couldn't even tell parents how this is going to go forward.
We make sure we highlight the status of the school- closed for two months now- in every Govt office, but we have to respect the process and the time that is consumed by the tasks.
We are doing what it takes to re-open the school, but the process is taking time and given the nature of the tasks involving Govt offices, each tasks takes atleast a day or two.
InshaAllah, we hope we're able to open soonest.
