Students unions demanding action against fee hike in private schools demonstrated at District Election Office today. Some students suffered minor injury during the clash in Tahachal; students agitated with demand for returning the admission cost back to parents that exceeds the governments' criterion. According to RC Lamichhane, ANNFSU Secretary, DEOs in Lalitpur and Bhaktapur have been padlocked. He too informed about strong action against illegal act of private educational institutions charging fees randomly not taking the government's guideline under consideration. निजी विद्यालयले सरकारले निर्दिष्ट गरेका मापदण्डभन्दा बढी शुल्क लिएको बिरुद्ध कारबाहीको माग गर्दै संयुक्त विद्यार्थी सङ्गठनले जिल्ला शिक्षा कार्यालय अगाडि गरेको विरोध प्रदर्शनका क्रममा आज झडप भएको छ । विद्यार्थी भर्ना गर्दा निजी विद्यालयले मापदण्डभन्दा बढी लिइएको शुल्क सम्बन्धित अभिभावकलाई बोलाएर अविलम्ब फिर्ता गर्नुपर्ने भन्दै ताहचलमा गरिएको प्रदर्शनमा झडप हुँदा केही विद्यार्थी नेता सामान्य घाइते भएका छन् । ललितपुर र भक्तपुरका शिक्षा कार्यालयमा तालाबन्दी समेत गरिएको अनेरास्ववियुका सचिव आरसी लामिछानेले जानकारी दिए। उनले निजी शैक्षिक संस्थाले सरकारको मार्गनिर्देशनको उल्लङ्घन गरी जथाभावी शुल्क निर्धारण गर्नु कानुन विपरीत रहेको भन्दै यसविरुद्ध सशक्त आन्दोलनका कार्यक्रम गरिने जानकारी दिए।
