The Madhya Pradesh government on Friday suspended the recognition of the Damoh school that is at the centre of a controversy over allegations of non-Muslim students wearing hijab.
In a late development, an order was issued by the joint director of School Education of the Sagar division saying that the Ganga Jamuna School had violated recognition rules. However, it made no mention of the hijab controversy and said that upon inspection, it was established that several facilities meant for students were inadequate or unavailable.
