Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is trying his best that all children go to school and various schemes of free food, free clothes and free books and free laptop distribution are made available to them for the promotion of studies.
It seems that some people are not so much concerned about education of their children and think that it is the sole responsibility of the Government to look after the school and children’s education, he said.
The incident of burning school buses of Mehar public school and furniture and books of the school indicates a lax attitude towards education. A mob of furious people had entered into the school premises and set the buses and rooms of school on fire as they thought that Sohail, accused in the murder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker Prashant Sharma, belongs to the caste of the school owner.
Sources said that more than 90 per cent of the students studying in the school are of Hindu community.
On the third day, the situation was calm and peaceful in Vishwas Nagar Pithampur which witnessed a clash between two communities. locals say timely action by the Mhow and Pithampur police averted a major mishap.
The immediate arrival of ASP Mhow Arvind Tiwari, SDOP Mhow Arun Mishra, CSP Pithampur Vikarm Singh and the police force of more than five police stations handled the situation well and blocked the movement of anti-social elements thus averting a big clash.
Indore Collector Akash Tripahti, DIG Indore Rakesh Gupta and SP Indore Abid Khan stayed for more than 48 hours in the disputed area. The Indore Collector has given Rs 1 lakh from the Red Cross fund to the wife of the victim, Prashant Sharma. The wife of the victim has gone to Uttar Pradesh with the dead body of her husband for the last rituals.
