THOUBAL, February 14: With the concerned authorities having failed to take up any actions on the case of a Class XII student stabbing his teacher even after three days, students of Jawarhar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Chandel staged a sit-in protest at the Gate of the school today.
From the morning, large number of students of the Vidyalaya staged the protest by holding several placards inscribed with `We want DC`™s prompt action, we want proper solution regarding this issue, take up immediate action, we want the culprit to be arrested, etc.`
Speaking to media persons, a student of Class XI from the science stream said the protest was held following the inaction of the concerned authorities even after three days of the incident in which a student of Class XII stabbed a teacher.
The students were compelled to intensify the agitations as the concerned authorities have failed to take up appropriate actions in connection with the incident, the student said, adding the State government as well as the concerned authorities will be held responsible for any untoward incident.
Expressing displeasure at the indifference of the Deputy Commissioner of Chandel who is also the Chairman of the School Managing Board, the student further said that if he could not pay a visit, the Deputy Commissioner should at least send his representative to oversee the situation.
It is unfortunate that the DC who also happens to be the chairman of the school did not bother to visit even after the crime was committed inside the school premises, he added.
Questioning the intention of the Deputy Commissioner for not taking up any initiatives to solve the problem till date, the student further said that the DC should take up initiatives to bring an amicable solution at the earliest to bring back normalcy and ensure an atmosphere of security in the minds of the students and teachers.
It may be mentioned here that a class XII Science student of JNV Chandel stabbed his teacher KC Alex Pamei, critically injuring him inside the school premises last Tuesday.
