Students of Port High School staged a protest outside their school premises demanding that their school not be closed, at Salagramapuram here on Tuesday. T. Trinadha Rao, chairman of the Visakha Port School Old Students Welfare Association, alleged that the school management has been pressurising the students to apply for TC as it was planning to shut down the school. He said that some of the students were not even given the school kits under the ‘Jagananna Vidya Kanuka’ of the State government. He said that a majority of the students were children of auto drivers and daily wage earners living in the nearby areas. They would not be in a position to send their children to private schools, if the government school was shut down.
