Dibrugarh, May 28: The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) on Tuesday staged a protest at Inspector of Schools(IS) office in Dibrugarh against irregularities in the supply of text books to the students.

The students’ body held placards and banners, and raised slogans against the government in failing to provide text books to the students.

“The government has failed to provide free text books to the students. In most of the government schools the students have failed to received the text books. In some schools, 200 text books were needed but the education department has provided only 80 books which is not sufficient,” said Rupjyoti Borthakur, organising secretary of AASU, Dibrugarh.

He said, “Every year the education department of Assam has failed to provide text books for the students. The government has been playing with students’ future. They are distributing numerous schemes for the people but for the students they failed to provide text books,”.

The AASU members submitted a memorandum to the Inspector of Schools.
