Srinagar, Sept 20: Students
of Government Boys Higher Secondary School Qalamabad in Mawer Handwara
Sunday alleged they are being charged rupees 50 for bonafide
certificates and appealed authorities to look into the matter.
A group of students said that this is the only institute who is charging fee for issuance of bonafide certificates.
They said how the said institution can charge students in absence of any Government order.
“Other
institutions are issuing the said certificates without charging a
single penny to students. It is ours institution who resorted to
swindling money by arbitrary means”, students said.
When
contacted to Principal BHSS Qalamabad, he admitted that the clerks were
charging Rs 50 from students and assured the practiced will be stopped
forthwith. However he didn’t comment on those who had already paid the
amount.
Deputy Education Officer
Handwara Abdul Rashid Mir clarified that there is no such order to
collect 50 Rs from students while issuing bonafide certificates. He
added those have been charged should approach to this office in written
and assured strict action against the involved. (KNS)
