Students and Villagers Protest Unsafe Buildings and Teacher Shortage at Alwar School
Students and villagers in Jodhwas village, Alwar district, Rajasthan, protested by locking a government higher secondary school over unsafe buildings and teacher shortages. The protest followed a roof slab collapse, with no injuries reported. The school has 174 students but only three classrooms, and five of six senior teacher posts remain vacant. Officials engaged with protesters, noting temporary teacher postings and a proposal for building repairs under review. Two buildings declared unsafe await demolition, and roof leaks worsen conditions during monsoon.
