Sangrur, May 25: The residents of Maniana village, the last village of Punjab on border with Haryana, locked their government senior secondary school and started an indefinite protest in front of the school.
Last year the government had approved its up gradation to senior secondary level, but no new teacher was posted nor was there any information when admissions to the senior classes were to be held.
“The school was upgraded on October 21, 2016. We thought admissions will start after the class 10 result, but the school authorities refused to admit our wards in the senior secondary classes two days ago,” said Balwinder Singh, member of the village education reforms committee while sitting on protest.
As per the letter issued, the approval was granted to upgrade school and he had sought a detailed report about the financial position of the school. The authorities sent the report last year, but till today nothing has been done. The then Finance Minister Parminder Dhindsa laid the inaugural stone on December 14, 2016, he added.
