MLA Ganta questions ‘late-night’ shifting of Marikavalasa Tribal Welfare School students
MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao has criticized the late-night relocation of students from the Andhra Pradesh Tribal Welfare Residential School in Marikavalasa. He argued that the process was handled insensitively and should have involved consultation with parents.
Why it matters
The incident raises concerns about the treatment of students in government-run residential programs and the transparency of administrative decisions.
Bheemunipatnam MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao on Friday expressed his displeasure over the manner in which students of the Andhra Pradesh Tribal Welfare Residential School for Boys at Marikavalasa were shifted following its upgradation into a Centre of Excellence.
The MLA visited the school on Friday and interacted with the officials. “What have these children done? Are they terrorists? Why was there a need to send them out in the middle of the night with their belongings?” he questioned.
“The government has taken up the Centre of Excellence initiative with good intentions, but the manner in which the students were reportedly forced to vacate the premises and sent to tribal areas could bring a bad name to the government,” Mr. Srinivasa Rao.
