Srinagar: The four months long unrest that has taken a heavy toll on the lives of people killing as many as 93 people and over 15,000 injured, the private schools have been asked to provide free admission to the kins and other close relatives of the victims of the 2016 unrest.
Kashmir Private Schools Association President Er G N Var told Press Trust of Kashmir that they understand the problems of the people.
“We have decided to provide free admission for those who lost their near and dear ones in the 2016 unrest. “We will provide every facility to these students. Our students, teachers and parents are part of the same society and we like others are also suffering.”
Var said the parents need now to pay only 50 per cent of transport fee of the last four months since July 8. The drivers and others working in private schools also need salary,” he said.
Var said some top private school like DPS, Tyndale Biscoe and Presentation Convent are missionary school. “They have everything free even the land. So they should not take fee from students and not even the transport fee,” he said. (PTK)
