According to media reports, the students were allegedly punished for leaving their classroom during the national anthem last week.

Several students missed their buses as a result of the punishment. Parents became aware of the incident when their wards arrived home later than usual. However, General Education Minister V Sivankutty’s office issued a statement regarding the matter without elaborating.

A show-cause notice has been issued to the teacher, and action was taken based on a report submitted by the District Education Officer, it said. An inquiry was conducted as per Minister Sivankutty’s directive, it added. The school officials were unavailable for comment.
