The student union met with the victims and after hearing their side of the story held a meeting today with the parents, the GSU of Assam state zone, the All Rabha Students Union, the Dainadubi Rajasimla Youth Council and other local bodies.

Together with the student bodies, victims parents and villagers of Amguri, they went to Calvary Mission School and accosted the accused director.

“The director accepted his guilt and in front of the parents and the victims and all organizations tendered an unconditional written apology. He also stated that he is ready to face any harsh punishment in the near future if such an incident is repeated,” said Churik Momin, president of GSU Adokgre regional unit.

Of late many schools have come up in Assam, particularly in Paikan, Goalpara, Dudhnoi and Dhupdhara bearing christian religious names to pull in students from the Garo Hills.

Many of these schools have no connection or affiliation to any christian religious organizations but use the names to draw students.

Parents are advised to check the antecedents of such private schools that have no church affiliated connections.
