Over 200 girls of the Wa Senior High Technical school have been left stranded following a fire outbreak that razed portions of the main girls’ dormitory block at the school.
The inferno started at about 8:00 pm last night, destroying five rooms and the belongings of the girls in the one-story dormitory block.
