A protest over an unsafe government school in Jodhwas, Alwar, ended on Friday after officials accepted students’ demands, The Times of India reports. A roof slab had collapsed two days earlier at the Government Senior Secondary School. No student was injured, but pupils sought demolition of the unsafe structure, repairs, more teachers, a new building, classroom repairs, a playground and an approach-road bridge repair. CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka confronted Thanagazi SHO Mahavir Singh during the protest and warned him against “playing politics”. A scuffle reportedly followed, with one supporter’s shirt torn. Ranka claimed a protest had led to Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s removal. Officials agreed to repair six classrooms within a week, begin a new building within three months and address teacher shortages.
