9 more private schools in Ludhiana under fire for operating without approval

Time of India20-05-2025

Ludhiana: A recent inspection by the district education officer (elementary) office revealed that at least nine institutions have been operating without recognition from the education department.
These schools have been issued show-cause notices for failing to produce the required documents under the RTE Act, 2009. They have been given two days to submit a clarification, failing which legal action will be initiated against them.
The letter sent to the schools states that a team from the DEO (elementary) office conducted inspections around four days ago, during which the school authorities failed to provide the necessary permissions and documents required to operate.
The schools identified include Islamia Arbia Mahdul Aamin on Tibba Road, where 355 students are enrolled in Classes 1 to 8. Another institution, Madrassa Islamia Arbia in Mayapuri Mohalla near Ik Minara Masjid, was found to have 157 students from Classes 1 to 5. Sarasvati Vidya Mandir Convent School, with 15 students from Nursery to Class 3, also failed to provide the required documents during the inspection.
In Ramgarh village, Maharaja English Model School was found to have 29 students from Nursery to Class 7, also without permission.

The principal and manager of BVM Grammar School in Dhandari Kalan, where 120 students are enrolled from Nursery to Class 7, have also been issued a notice for violating the RTE Act.
Origin Public School in Rangian village had 49 students from Nursery to Class 7 without valid permissions. Janta Model School in the Giaspura area was found operating without legal sanction, with 46 students enrolled. BBN Grammar School in Harnampura, with 102 students from Nursery to Class 8, was also issued a notice demanding a response within two days.
Additionally, Arsh Public School in Butta village, Dehlon Block, was found to have 26 students from Nursery to Class 5 studying without the necessary approvals.
Notably, the district education office (elementary) had recently sent such notices to two schools and ordererd their shutdown, as they failed to provide the documents that allowed them to operate. Thereafter, the students of these schools were admitted to nearby govt schools.
The recent inspections by DEO (elementary) Ravinder Kaur have revealed how these so-called schools are being run with impunity in the district.
Several of these schools were not only operating without permissions, but were also compromising the safety of students and their future.
Such schools tie up with regular schools and get their students enrolled for board exams through these schools. The DEO (elementary) had earlier stated that action would also be taken against schools that assist such illegal schools by enrolling students for exams.
Meanwhile, teachers have hailed the DEO's action against such illegal schools. "It's good that the DEO office is taking such action. These schools not only charge hefty fees from parents but also jeopardise students' futures by operating without proper permissions. The education department should conduct such inspections regularly, and parents must also become more aware of such malpractice," a schoolteacher said.

'She told me to withdraw complaint': Chennai woman inspector transferred after mishandling sexual assault complaints

CHENNAI: The Inspector of the Tirumangalam All Women Police Station was transferred and placed on a waiting list following serious allegations of mishandling sexual assault complaints and favouring accused individuals, prompting criticism from the public. The controversy began when a 38-year-old woman, residing on the first floor of an apartment in the Nolambur police station limits, lodged a complaint against a neighbour who allegedly attempted to rape her. The accused, identified as Mukesh (29), lived on the third floor of the same building. According to the victim, Mukesh, in an inebriated state, forcibly entered her home on the night of May 29 while she was alone and attempted to sexually assault her. When she resisted, he allegedly stabbed her in the neck and back. The woman sustained serious injuries and was treated at the Kilpauk Govt Hospital, where she received eight stitches. Following the incident, the victim approached the Tirumangalam All Women Police Station to file a complaint. However, the police allegedly delayed registering the case. Following pressure from women officers in the department, a case was eventually filed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Mukesh, who absconded after the incident, later surrendered at the Ambattur Court. He was taken into custody, interrogated for a day, and then remanded to judicial custody. Despite the arrest, there were strong allegations that the investigating officers showed leniency towards the accused and failed to conduct a thorough investigation. In a separate case, another woman, a 42-year-old in Tirumangalam, filed a sexual harassment complaint at the same police station three days ago. In her complaint, she alleged that a senior officer at her workplace harassed her on a daily basis. She claimed that after reporting the harassment internally, she was transferred first to Kalambakkam and later to Nagapattinam. When she protested, the officer reportedly agreed to her request to stop the harassment, but the behaviour persisted. The woman further alleged that when she filed a formal complaint with the Tirumangalam All Women Police Station, the Inspector in charge threatened her and pressured her to withdraw the complaint. The woman subsequently approached the City Police Commissioner's office seeking justice. Following these back-to-back allegations, senior police officials launched an internal review. Based on multiple complaints that the Tirumangalam All Women Police Station failed to act impartially and was seen as protecting the accused in sensitive cases involving women, Inspector Vijayalakshmi was transferred and placed on a waiting list.

Bengaluru stampede: No interim relief for RCB exec Nikhil Sosale, Karnataka HC reserves judgment till June 11

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday reserved its order till June 11 on a plea filed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) marketing executive Nikhil Sosale , who sought interim relief in connection with the stampede incident at the city's Chinnaswamy Stadium that claimed 11 lives on June 4. The stampede occurred during a public event organized to celebrate RCB's maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title. A massive crowd had gathered at the venue, leading to a stampede-like situation. Several individuals sustained injuries as the authorities struggled to control the turnout. Sosale, a member of the RCB management team, approached the High Court seeking anticipatory bail and interim protection from coercive action after a FIR registered against the franchise, the event organisers and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) under charges related to negligence and public endangerment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Vietnam (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Earlier last week, the HC granted protection from arrest to the KSCA office bearers in connection with the stampede case. Justice SR Krishna Kumar, while granting interim relief to KSCA office bearers, president Raghuram Bhat, secretary A Shankar and treasurer ES Jairam, asked them to cooperate with the police investigations. The court had asked the government and the police not to take any coercive action against the office-bearers till the next date of the hearing, which is now scheduled for June 12. Live Events The KSCA management swiftly moved the high court last week after chief minister Siddaramaiah ordered the arrest of its office bearers along with the senior executives of RCB Bengaluru and DNA Entertainment Networks charging them with culpable homicide not amounting to murder and other sections under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Their petition prayed for the quashing of the FIR holding KSCA management accountable for the deaths and injuries to RCB fans.
