The educational institutions participating in the parades mainly on the Independence Day and Republic Day have come under scanner of the district administration after certain allegations surfaced against them.
It was alleged that certain schools and colleges in order to win trophy as best contingent had been hiring non students to participate in parade.
The matter came to light after some parents of a particular school alleged that although their school won the trophy as best performing troop yet the honour was received by non students.
It may be noted Revenue Minister Sudam Marndi was the chief guest this year at the RD parade function in Baleswar.
A senior officer of the district said that a compliant was received regarding the scam and an inquiry was underway in which the particular school was sought explanation and further action would be taken after receipt of report.
