KOLKATA: The fee dispute, in which Kolkata schools and guardians have been locked ever since had campuses closed for the pandemic, seemed to reach the boiling point with the indefinite shutdown of G D Birla Centre for Education at Regent Park, Ashok Hall Girls’ Higher Secondary School at Minto Park and Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar on Ironside Road on Thursday. The last time the row had escalated, the Bengal government, and then the Calcutta High Court, had to step in.
The fee issue is still sub-judice and schools and parents said they hoped the stand-off could be resolved amicably without students having to bear the brunt.
