Thousands of worried parents of a prominent city school today held a meeting and urged the Bihar Power Board to reconsider its eviction notice for the sake of future of students many of whom are wards of powermen themselves.

Over 600 parents congregated at the school and expressed anxiety over uncertainities due to eviction notice of the power board to the school which continues even after CBSE restored affiliation to the DAV BSEB school after a controversy concerning a girl student last year.

The parents signed a petition and gave it to the Principal V S Ojha to pass it on to the management of the Bihar State Power Holding Company Limited (BSPHCL), which has provided land and the building to the DAV to run the school.
 

Some of the parents including Pushpa Kumari, Nandani Sinha and Ranjan Kumar said jobs of many of them are transferrable and there is scope of getting admission in a DAV school if they go to newer place on transfer.

Principal V S Ojha told the parents that he had a meeting with General Manager BSPHCL, Rajiv Ranjan last Monday to whom he made a plea that the power board continue running of the school after continuation of affiliation by CBSE which had terminated it last year in the wake of a controversy involving a girl student.

Trouble had plagued the premier school of the city after a +2 student went missing on February 28, 2015. She surfaced three weeks later on March 19 and during questioning by the police, she revealed that she was deliberately failed in Class XI examination.

Police had arrested three teachers of the school in this connection and the school Principal Ramanuj Prasad was suspended by the DAV management.
