Dr. Ashok Thakur, Secretary of the Medical Teachers' Association, has called for an FIR to be filed against those responsible for the prank.
Similarly, Dr. V.P. Pandey and Dr. Sumit Shukla from the Alumni Association have also voiced their support for filing an FIR against those involved.
As the school prepares for the upcoming academic year, teachers hope that their efforts will bring back a sense of normalcy and respect to the historic building, which has long been rumored to be haunted.
Many locals have expressed their relief and gratitude for the teachers’ actions. They believe that sprinkling ‘Ganga jal’ will help cleanse the space of any negative energy.
As the Halloween spirit continues to linger in the air, the teachers' intervention serves as a reminder of the cultural significance of ‘Ganga jal’ in Indian traditions.
