Investigation into religious segregation in school meals
A primary school in West Bengal's Purba Bardhaman district is being investigated after it was found serving midday meals separately to Hindu and Muslim students—something that's reportedly been happening since 2000.
The news only came out recently, and now district officials are looking into how this could go on for so long.
TL;DR
District Magistrate has launched a probe
The District Magistrate has launched a probe, while the current headmaster called a meeting with parents and local leaders to address the issue.
Local panchayat head Kanan Burman promised to put an end to the practice.
Even a former headmaster admitted he'd tried but couldn't fix it before.
For now, everyone's waiting on the investigation's outcome—and hoping things change for the better.
