The concerned ZEO along with technical department visited the spot and selected the site for construction of the building; the same person again became a hurdle and came with another stay order over the construction of building. The case was disposed off in the year 2015. Education department failed to construct the building due to some political pressure. The room where the school is functioning is in very dilapidated condition having no facilities.
It is pertinent to mention here that majority of the students have to walk at least 3 kms to reach the school which situated at the top of a mountain.
The matter was raised with the concerned authorities time and again but nothing happened.
