Shedding off the inhibitions, Mufti Muhammad Sayeed’s Education Minister Naeem Akhtar Thursday visited Tral’s Dadsara area to personally felicitate the two toppers of Class 10.
On Tuesday as Class 10 results were announced, two daughters from Dadsara village bagged two top slots. Both the girls are students of Hajahad Public School in Awantipora.
Aneeka, the topper who secured 495/500 marks is from modest economic background. Her father, Shabir Ahmad Rather, is a contractual draftsman with the state owned J&K Projects Constructions Corporation (JKPCC). Her mother, Fareeda, is a nurse in the local Primary Health Centre.
Shaheera Shameem is the second topper. Daughter of a lecturer, Shameem Ahmad, she has a better academic environment. Her grandfather has also been a teacher.
Akhtar’s Thursday visit to Dadsara Tral is said to be the first of its kind after militancy broke out in the valley in 1989.
