What was done:
The image contains 4 bold+underlined header text lines in Persian/Arabic script at the top of the document:
  1. وزارت تح___صیلات عالی
  2. مؤسسه تحصیلات عالی سپین غر "کابل"
  3. ریاست پوهنخی طلب معالجوی
  4. معاونیت امور محصلان
The underlines (continuous horizontal dark strokes appearing below each text line) were detected by identifying wide continuous dark pixel runs (≥40px) at rows 82-84, 136-140, 187-192, and 241-246, then painted white. The thick formal separator line between the header and body of the document was preserved intact, as were all signatures, stamps, and other content.
