The new bill after becoming the law will be bringing relief to the children.
The bill is to be presented in the KP Assembly and after the members’ approval and signature of the governor, it will become a provincial law.
Tt was last year when the Peshawar High Court bench had directed the governemnt to enact law against heavy school bags.
