As Maratha community organizations call for a bandh in the city and rural areas today, schools and colleges face uncertainty. While parental safety concerns prevail, the Education Department hasn't issued directives. Headmasters must decide on student safety, considering potential transportation disruptions. Some principals leave the choice to parents. Education officer Jayashree Chavan says no official information on school closures has been received. Parents should stay updated through local news and school communications for any changes during the day.
Talathi Recruitment Exempted Bandh
In a notable move, the Maratha Kranti Morcha (MKM) has decided to exempt the ongoing talathi recruitment and other examinations conducted at various centers in the city from their bandh activities. In a released statement, MKM has assured that they will ensure that no aspiring candidates encounter any obstacles during this recruitment process. This decision comes as a relief for individuals participating in these crucial examinations amidst the bandh.
MESA Keeps Schools Closed
The Maharashtra English Societies Association (MESA) has decided to keep schools closed today, September 4, in response to the Maratha community's bandh call. This decision aims to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and school bus services amidst the bandh. MESA president Prahlad Shinde confirmed that students, parents, and school bus drivers have been informed of this precautionary measure. Key MESA members were present during the decision-making process.
