Cooch Behar, 24th July: Students of Bhetaguri Lal Bahadur Shastri Vidyapith (H.S.) in Cooch Behar staged a sit-in protest, blocking the Dinhata State Highway, to demand the re-opening of their school.
Despite the conclusion of the panchayat polls, the central forces continue to occupy the school premises, resulting in its closure. Despite complaints against the seven-day school shutdown, the authorities have not taken action to re-open the school. This prolonged closure is causing concerns among the students, as they fear their academic curriculum will suffer if the school remains closed.
