JNV Dibrugarh shocker: Series of events on the campus
A PTM was organized on Sunday by the school authorities regarding the academic performances of the students of higher classes. PTM is usually one of the regular events occurring in various JNVs which occur periodically each month. During this meeting, the History teacher complained about a student regarding his poor performance in academics to his parents. She said to improve in a later period as the final exams were approaching.
After the meeting concluded, later in the evening, before the Evening attendance session (Evening Assembly) was going to occur, some students of classes 10 and 11 of JNV Dibrugarh began to protest about the complaint insisted by the teacher to the student. During this protest, they manhandled the History teacher, who was also pushed by them. As she was already facing some illness due to her pregnancy, she was mentally disturbed and was soon rushed to the nearby hospital by the campus vehicle on Sunday.
Apart from the History teacher, the acting Principal was also treated violently by the students as well. “After the meeting, some students formed a group and started harassing the teacher in front of the main academic block. A few of them pushed her and one student tried to pull her by her hair,” Rathees Kumar, the acting Principal said.
