The authorities in addition to this were also waiting for the 8th class students of middle schools and 5th class students of primary schools to pass and leave the schools for next classes in high schools and different middle schools so that the uniform for the students of these two classes of over 110 schools could be saved.
Fearing the enquiry from different agencies, the headmasters of different schools are not ready to lift the uniform from ZEO office Thathri. It is also reported that the uniforms have been bought without taking the measurement of students.
