As a part of the ongoing agitation held in connection with the demand to make educational zones free from all disturbances, a human chain movement was held at Pitambara English School on Tuesday. The movement started on June 15.
Secretary of educational and academic affairs of DESAM, Somol Luwang said that students are facing numerous disturbances created by anti-social elements while pursuing their studies.
Due to the absence of a transport fare norm, students are paying the same fare like other common people and as students are the future assets of the state, public transporters should charge a lesser amount of fare, he said.
Drivers of public transport should not hesitate allowing students to ply in their vehicle in fear of getting less fare, he said.
During the movement, they raised slogans like provide quality education system, implement Right to Education system effectively, implement private school regulation act, education sectors should not be removed from preview of bandh and blockade, etc.
