School running illegally shut in Hisar after raid

A Hisar range’s CM flying squad on Tuesday raided the premises of a private school which was reportedly operating without any recognition at Madanpura village of the Uklana region in Hisar district.

The raiding team found that Pal Middle School was running classes from nursery to Class X without any recognition. The authorities immediately ordered closure of the school after finding serious violations of norms,

The raid was led by CM flying squad Hisar range in-charge Sunaina, accompanied by Deputy District Education Officer Vijender Singh and others. During the inspection, the team found that 62 students were enrolled, with inadequate seating arrangements and an environment not suitable for academic activities. They also recovered some records related to Sunrise Senior Secondary School, Khairi, and some blank papers for issuing the character certificates and documents related to Swami Vivekanand School, Uklana. When asked for the recognition documents, school operator Pankaj failed to produce any such document.

Deputy District Education Officer Vijender Singh ordered the school be closed immediately. He said the students were dispersed safely and arrangements would be made to shift them to nearby cluster schools to avoid disruption in their education. A detailed report has been prepared and sent to the Education Department for further action.

Sunaina said the government was committed to ensuring quality and modern education for every child and urged the parents not to admit their children to unrecognised or illegal institutions.
