Excelsior Correspondent

UDHAMPUR, Nov 8: The student of Govt High School Rassain and locals of the area held a strong protest demonstration demanding new school building.
The protesting students and villagers raised slogans against the Education Department and District Administration, Udhampur.
They alleged that there was no repair of school building during the last four years and student are forced to study in the unsafe building of this school, sanctioned under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) during 2014, which has developed big cracks. They said the tender work for repair of building was allotted during March this year but no construction progress was witnessed so far. “During rainy days, children are facing a lot of difficulties. The issue was taken up with the Chief Education Office and Deputy Commissioner Udhampur several times but nothing was achieved,” they lamented and demanded new school building as repair of the existing one was apparently not feasible.
The protest demonstration was addressed by Amar Nath, Girdhari Lal, Mast Ram, Krishna Kumar, Raj Kumar, Kaku Ram, Shoukin Chand, Nasib Chand, Puran Chand, Shankar Dass and Ramesh Chander.
