The Government Bara Dogra Poly Technical Institute had been shifted from Dogra area of Bara Tehsil to Jamrud Tehsil of Khyber Agency owing to dilapidated law and order condition in volatile Bara Tehsil, said president of KHU M.

He estimated that only 21 students belonging to Tehsil Bara are currently studying in government Bara Dogra Poly Technical Institute, since it was shifted from the ara to Jamrud Tehsil which could be enhanced if it is again re-shifted to its original area. He said that now security situation in the area is far better from its previous situation and things are normalized after the successful Zarb-e- Azab operation and time is ripped for moving the government Bara Dogra Poly Technical Institute to its original place.
