In fact there was blockage in the toilet as a girl had flushed sanitary napkins in it.

Irate by this the warden summoned the senior girls and interrogated them in this regard. When none of them spoke a word she allegedly asked them to remove the clothes to reach to the culprit.

Kasturba Vidyalaya is a boarding school for girls from classes 1st to 8th where the senior girls are of 12-13 years of age.

Hence after this incident the shocked girls intimated their parents who in a fit of anger came out to protest this conduct of the warden.

Not only this over a dozen parents are said to have withdrawn their wards from the school where the total strength was about 100 only .

The news of this incident reached Basic Shiksha Adhikari Chandrakesh Yadav who visited the school and intimated the matter to the DM Dinesh Kumar Singh who directed him to constitute a probe committee.

" On the directions of DM  a five member committee including two lady staff Poonam and Preeti Chaudhary was constituted and asked to submit its report in 24 hours," told the BSA who had presented the probe report to the DM on Friday.

DM directed the BSA to remove Surekha Tomar from the post and cancel her contract with immediate affect in view of the charges of serious nature.

Confirming the BSA informed that a team is also being constituted to normalise the situation in the school and also convince the parents of the girls who left the school to send them again.

ON the contrary the terminated headmistress Surekha Tomar claimed it a conspiracy of some teachers of the school who were against her.

Most of the girls are young as the school is till 8th standard and only few of them are of this age which is using napkins.

The issue has been blown out of proportion, she said.
