KISHTWAR, May 13: Stude-nts of Government Middle School, Malikpura staged protest along with their parents against the non availability of teaching staff in their school.
After locking the school, the students along with parents held protest and raised slogans against the Education Department for its failure to keep check over the availability of the teaching staff.
“The non-availability of teachers is jeopardising our career”, said a protesting student.
The parents of the agitating students said that it was unfortunate that despite having good strength of students in schools located, the Education Department has failed to check the presence of the deputed staff.

Later, Patwari rushed to the spot and after taking the attendance registered submitted it to the concerned officers.
