The Haridwar Rural MLA Swami Yatishwaranand has appealed that school fees not be charged for the months of April, May and June since the income of many parents have been stalled since March due to the lockdown enforced to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Yatishwaranand said that he had talked to the Union Human Resource Development minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ and the state’s education minister Arvind Pandey about this issue. The MLA said that he had appealed through the social media that the school fees for three months should be waived off. He said that he would pursue the issue and try to get the fee waiver for three months.
