Fight to save school

Khata issued to private individual has villagers agitated
The land where a century-old government higher primary school existed at Tumari in Sagar taluk is all set to go to the hands of a private individual, leaving the local residents agitated.
A decision of the Revenue Department to issue a khata of the land in the name of the person led to this development.
The government school, which got its building in 1918, has been imparting education for generations. The villagers had formed a committee two years ago to hold a programme to celebrate its centenary. However, they could not go ahead due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Before they could hold the function, the khata has been issued in the name of M.L. Subraya, a local resident.
