Apart from this, a new building is under construction behind the school. Probably the new building is being constructed for the Higher Secondary School. Sources said that the Management Committee has not taken permission from the municipality for the construction of the school earlier and the construction of the new building now. Hence, a notice has been issued to demolish the school building.
Notably, the notice was issued on Sunday. According to the notice, Tuesday would be the last day to give a reply to the administration. Meanwhile, Home Minister Narottam Mishra said that the illegal constructions of Ganga Jamna School will be razed like a pack of cards.
According to sources, a major controversy erupted when posters of toppers from the school began to circulate on the internet. The surprising aspect of these posters was that all the female students shown were wearing hijabs. Some of these females were Hindus and Jains, which created resentment. It was alleged that the girl students were forced to wear hijabs.
