Raipur. Students of Salem School located in Motibag took out a rally on Monday demanding protection from anti-social elements. The students say that shops have been opened adjacent to the school walls without permission. The entire boundary wall of the school has been captured by anti-social elements. They also enter the school premises to use toiletries. This causes problems to girl students. Not only this, they also leave liquor bottles, intoxicating materials and other objectionable things in the school grounds.
Girls from class 6th to 12th study here. 70 to 80 girl students participated in the rally. Principal Mukesh Kumar said that instead of waiting for any untoward incident, the problems of the girl students should be heard as soon as possible. This also impacts the education of girl students. There is a traffic jam here in the evening during school holidays. Girls feel unsafe in this environment.
