- If the order is not issued within two days, the highway will be closed: Amit Kapoor
JAMMU. Today, under the leadership of Parents Association President Amit Kapoor, a large number of children and their parents protested strongly outside the Press Club of Jammu and demanded immediate orders to give age relaxation to first class children. They also demanded to curb the looting by private schools and asked all the MLAs of Jammu and Kashmir to unite and raise their voice against the looting by private schools.
In this protest led by Amit Kapoor, President of Parents Association Jammu, the protesters were raising slogans like restore age relaxation, stop changing books and uniforms every year in private schools, issue order for age relaxation for first class soon.
Addressing the protesters, Amit Kapoor said that in other states of the country, all the children have been admitted to the first class but in Jammu and Kashmir, no order has been issued regarding this yet, due to which parents have to come out on the streets with their children and protest. He said that the Principal Secretary of the Education Department has said that he is looking into this matter while the Director of School Education is not taking any decision in this regard yet while the time of children is being wasted day by day.
Along with this, he said that many private schools are looting the parents by changing books and uniforms every year while the concerned officials are not ready to take any concrete steps to stop this loot. He requested the ADC of Jammu to conduct raids like last year so that the nexus of books and uniforms can be curbed. He also requested all the MLAs of Jammu to rise above party ideology and unite and raise their voice against the loot of private schools. He said that this is an issue related to the family, so they should raise their voice on this issue.
At the same time, Amit Kapoor has warned that if the order regarding age relaxation is not issued within two days, then he will intensify his movement against it and if needed, he will also block the highway. Apart from prominent Dr. Thapa, Amrik Singh, Sonia Dogra, Ishan Singh, Anju Devi, a large number of small children and their parents were also present in the protest.
