Solar panels were stolen from a school located in an Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, an official said, adding that it was the second theft incident within a week.
Shafiq Khan, the head teacher of the school established in Padhana Afghan refugee camp, told the police that the thieves last week decamped with three batteries and a converter used for supplying solar power, Dawn news reported on Sunday (13 October).
The police had hardly completed inquiry or recovered the stolen valuables the thieves removed five solar power plates from the same school on Friday night.
The teachers have demanded early arrest of the thieves and recovery of the stolen solar panels.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
