Taking cognizance of the matter, Block Education Extension Officer of Gopikandar, Dumka Surendra Hebram said, “We received info on incident & held talks with all teachers. When we reached there, students said that they were given very less marks in practicals & they didn’t receive adequate response from their teachers.”
One of the injured teacher, Kumar Suman said, “Students called us on the pretext of holding a meeting and said their results were spoiled. It happened because their practical marks were not included in results. That was to be done by the headmaster. So we couldn’t have taken any step in this regard.”
