Bhopal: Principal of Phadi High School of Seoni district has been served show cause notice by tribal welfare assistant commissioner Suresh Markam for installing photographs of national leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, PM Narendra Modi, Bharat Mata etc in the toilet. Principal Manish Mishra has shifted his office in the newly constructed toilet. As the office is shifted in the toilet, the other office furniture, computers, photographs and others were also shifted.
The building has only three rooms or halls and classes 9 and 10 are running. In one room Class 9 and in another room Class 10 is running while in the third the laboratory is established. The staffers sit in the laboratory and no other place is vacant to establish the office. The student strength in the school is huge, with every class having around 125 students, leading to shortage of space.
The assistant commissioner had first appreciated the principal’s effort to run the school and the office, saying he had shown exemplary work in utilising the present space. The classes are overcrowded and there was no place to establish the office, whereas the school had more toilets and newly constructed toilet was being used as office. With the help of the Jan Bhagidari Committee, an office room will be constructed. After the principal’s reply, the matter will be presented before the collector.
