The students of the school, which has been running since the last three years on the first floor of Jambuwala Cooperative Bank on Sarkhej Road, were being forced to sit outside their classrooms. Also, there has been a fight between the trustee of the school, AR Pathan, and the landlord. The latter has also stopped water supply to the school since last 15 days and power since last 10 days.

The examination will start on August 16 and the school authorities called the police inspector to intervene.

“It is disheartening to see children studying in dark. I called the chairman of the premise but he did not come to the spot. They had locked the room from where the main electric supply comes. So, I brought an electrician and ensured a new electrical connection to the school. No matter what, the children should not suffer,” PR Ramani, police inspector of Sarkhej police station, said.

“I have been running English and Gujarati medium schools on the premise. We have been given 12 rooms to run classes,” said AR Pathan, Trustee of Safal English school.
