The teachers as well as the parents of students had used all possible means including approaching the district administration and requesting authorities but to no avail. Disappointed with the approach, the students decided to break open the building themselves so that classes could resume. And now there are visuals showing the classes have indeed resumed and students are happy attending the class in the new building as they had complained to unhygienic and bad condition of classrooms in the old building.
