The girl students of a State-run high school stunned the locals in Rairangpur town of Mayurbhanj district with their way of approaching the district administration to lodge their grievance over the issues prevailing in their school hostel.
Over 60 girls of the Janata High School under Kusumi block walked for 15 kilometer from the school to meet the Sub-Collector to lodge their complaint.
They reached Rairangpur at around 6 pm on Wednesday and met the Sub-Collector to narrate about the miserable conditions in which they live in the 110-bed hostel meant for the students belonging to scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled tribe (ST) at the premises of the school.
The students complained against the school authorities for their apathy towards them in the hostel. They brought to the notice of the administration the quality of foods served to them and the negligence of primary treatment.
The students also alleged that a senior teacher is misbehaving with them under influence of alcohol and grabbing the cosmetic items made available for them.
The garbage lying around the school and hostel causes healthcare issues, they further alleged.
