The parents DAV Public School, Patelnagar, ended their fast unto death strike following a mutual agreement with the school management.
The parents who went on fast unto death over the hike in annual development charges and other issues for the last three days finally came to an understanding with the school.
In a meeting called by the SDO (Dhalbhum), Subodh Kumar representatives of parents and the school management discussed the matter and decided to call off the agitation.
The school has withdrawn its decision to charge Rs 120 per month to introduce digital classrooms and have decided to manage within the increased development fees for one year. According to parents, this would save them about Rs 1440 in the first year.

The members of the association will also be in touch with the school management. Nine parents started their fast on May 3 and were backed by nearly 50 parents after the school management turned down deputy superintendent of education East Singhbhum Praveen Kumar effort to broker a truce between parents and management on Thursday evening.
