Daltonganj, Jan. 29: The disciplinary committee of Netarhat residential school has ‘de boarded’ four matriculation board examination appearing students, of their Ashram in the wake of an incident in which one senior student slapped a junior student and in retaliation of it another senior student beat up the slapper with a hockey stick.
Dr S K Singh, principal of Netarhat residential school speaking to lagatar24.com correspondent today said, “A class 9 student slapped a class 6 student in the Republic Day function. The class 6 student went to his senior friends and told his ordeal.”
“A class tenth student took up a hockey stick and came to the class 9 slapper student in support of the junior class 6 student and beat him,” added the principal.
“This act and behaviour of the class tenth student with the class 9 student and again the act and behaviour of the class 9 student with the class 6 student is all indiscipline and most avoidable and the school management flays both the acts in the strongest of the terms,” reiterated the principal.
The class tenth student and his three mates who formed the scene where the class tenth student beat up the class 9 slapper student with the hockey stick have been removed from their Ashram and dispatched to their respective homes from where now these four would be preparing for their coming matriculation board examination due in the coming months, the principal said.
Singh said he and his team of teachers held an interactive session with the juniors and seniors and counselled them how to strengthen their academic ties in a situation where passion and anger have to be back seated and school authorities to be informed in time without delay and hesitation instead of deciding the chart of action by themselves.
The principal said everybody involved in this incident is regretful but it happened most unfortunately and hence the school’s disciplinary committee had to step in by giving marching orders to 4 seniors to leave the Ashram and study and prepare at home for their examination.
The four have left Ashram for their homes and the campus is calm and normal, said sources.
