DAV management decides to close school in Srinagar

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 29: Fed up with the discriminatory and negative attitude of the authorities, the management of DAV Public Secondary School, Srinagar today said that they have been forced to lock out the school.
In a statement issued here, today the management of the School said that due to non cooperation of Director School Education, Srinagar and Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) the management is left with no option except to lock this premier institute. The statement said that Director School Education has been sitting over the proposal submitted to him vide no DAV/MC/CJ/2007 dated 15-08-2014 and over nine months have passed maintaining total silence by design. Similarly the proposal for repairs sent to SMC for raising of boundary wall as well as re-construction of two annexes within the premises damaged in September 2015 floods is being avoided by design although all other damaged buildings private/commercial in Jawahar Nagar area have been granted permission except this public school for unknown reasons, the statement added.
The management said that the action of the authorities have created uncertainty within the school premises and as such is vulnerable to any untoward act by any agency. In this behalf the verbal assurances given by Finance and Education Ministers to the management assuring speedy action has not borne any result thus precipitating the closure of the School till such time necessary repairs and replacements are carried out in order to ensure the safety and security of the children and staff as the management can’t take risk with this crucial matter whereby the safety and security of the children and staff will get endangered.
The statement held Government agencies responsible for creating such conditions deliberately to damage and bring disrepute to the minority educational institute of Srinagar.
The management in an appeal to Chief Minister has sought his intervention in the matter and demanded that the guilty be punished under law.
