In protest against the dictatorial attitude of the Indian Academy School, the members of All Uttarakhand Parents Association (AUPA) organised a sit-in at the office of the Chief Education Officer (CEO) Dehradun on Monday.

The president of the school unit of the association, Navin lingwal alleged that the school authorities are unduly harassing him.

He said that the association had complained against the increase in fees of the school acting on which the CEO Dehradun on July 08 had dispatched a letter to the school asking it to act according to the rules.

lingwal alleged that on receipt of the letter school authorities started targeting him and his daughter Shreya.

He said that the school had sent a notice to him on July 18 in which it has threatened to remove Shreya from the school.

lingwal also alleged that the school authorities have sent three threatening sms on his mobile phone.

The president of the association said that there is a great resentment among the parents of the students of the school on the dictatorial attitude shown by the management.

The President of the AUPA, Niraj Singhal, general Secretary Arif Khan and many parents participated in the dharna.
