Meetings were also held with the management of the schools including those running in the private sectors, he mentioned.
A committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner Quetta and SSP Operations was constituted to review the security measures adopted by the schools.
The committee is going to submit its report by Sunday next, so the action would be taken in light of the recommendations of the committee, the Commissioner maintained.
The schools lacking the desired security measures would not be allowed to run and thus be closed until and unless they make the arrangements in this regard.
The security measures which are to be adopted by the schools are included: raising the boundary walls upto seven feet, laying of barbed wire there, establishment of guard room and other ones.
The Commissioner on the occasion also mentioned that over 500 schools including public and private are running in Quetta city.
