KISHTWAR, Aug 28: In a major setback to government policy of promoting education among the girls, villagers in Sigdi area of Chatroo tehsil in Kishtwar district today refused to send their daughters to the local government school after an attempt of rape in the school premises.
The accused has been identified as 38 year old local teacher Daleep Kumar son of Sat Lal resident of Pranzial Sigdi posted in Government High School Sigdi. He attempted rape on his student studying in 10th class. As soon as the matter came to the notice of locals, they held a strong protest against the teacher and demanded his arrest and dismissal from services. They refused to send their daughters to the school till the issue is not addressed by the police and education department.
"We have decided not to send our children particularly the girls to the school since a teacher Daleep Kumar has attempted a rape on one of his student studying in 10th class," said local Naib Sarpanch Bashir Ahmed. He said that villagers are angry and annoyed with this behavior of teacher and ultimately the people were forced not to send their daughters to schools.
He said that since last two days the High School Sigdi is closed as the people are demanding action against the teacher involved in this heinous crime. He said that until and unless the authorities will take action against the teacher, the school will remain closed and no girl will be allowed to go to school. He said that the parents of the girl students are in a state of dismay about the safety and security of their daughters. He said that only after the action will be initiated against the said teacher, they will decide whether to allow the girls to go to school or not.

He demanded immediate arrest and dismissal of the accused teacher from his services.
