Patiala school staff blame principal for irregularities in mid-day meal scheme

Patiala: The entire workforce at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Pheel Khana village, including the vice-principal, have complained against their principal Karamjeet Singh, accusing him of committing irregularities in the Mid-Day Meal scheme.

The matter arrived at this after the school distributed stale rice and wheat, infested with insects and worms, to parents of students at the school premises on Tuesday. Packets of 4kg of rice and wheat were distributed even as the workers who were ordered to distribute this ration alleged that the grain was not in an edible condition. The school is already facing an inquiry from the district education department due to its failure to provide Mid-day meals to 800 students during the lockdown.
