The school management finally pays attention as parents continued to protest in front of Chameli Devi Public School, Kesar Bagh Road on Wednesday. After a day-long protest and discussions, the school management decided to conduct a board meeting and said, “Parent need not pay fee as of now and they will not be pressured for the same.”
Further, a school representative told parents that they need not worry about CBSE registration either. “We will ensure that the CBSE registration process is complete for all the students,” he said. The representative asked parents to be patient for 2 months. “As board members are not physically able to meet at the moment, we will arrange and conduct a meeting within 2 months and announce our decision,” he said. Until then, parents need not pay school fees, assured the representative.
Parents had begun their protest in front of the school last Thursday demanding school authorities to disclose their balance and expenditure. Further, the protest escalated as the school did not respond to their demands till Tuesday. As parents did not budge despite being pushed out by management on Tuesday, chairman of Agrawal Group running the school Purushottam Agarwal had video conferencing with parents. In the late evening, a school representative was sent out by the management asking them to not pay the fee and wait for a decision for 2 months.
