According to reports the school comprising of 220 students and they are facing tough times in absence of potable drinking waters in the premises, especially the girl students and the female staff of the school.
The school authorities told they have informed the concerned authorities several times regarding the issue but their plea fell deaf ear by the officials.
The resident of the area said that the slogan of Prime Minister Narinder Modi “Jal Hai tou Jeevan” seems no impact for this school. They have demanded immediate restoration the potable drinking facility in the school.
