New Delhi: Only 11 of the total 100 girl students registered at a state-government-run residential school in Uttar Pradesh were during a surprise inspection at night. A police case or FIR has been filed against four persons, including the warden, PTI reported quoting a senior official.
District Magistrate Neha Sharma said that the inspection at Kasturba Gandhi Residential Girls School, Paraspur, was conducted on Monday night.
“A total of 100 girl students are registered there, but only 11 girl students were found present in the school. Warden Sarita Singh could not give a satisfactory answer when asked about the absence of 89 girl students,” the District Magistrate was quoted as saying.
“This is serious negligence. Residential girls’ schools cannot run in this manner,” the District Magistrate said, adding she has ordered the registration of an FIR.
