Earlier, raising the issue Peter Fanthome, MLA, said the goons reached the school at about 4 pm, broke open the main gate and vandalised the school.

They did not even spare the chapel, he said.

Probe report

THE INQUIRY committee probing the September 6 incident at Loreto Convent has almost completed its task and is all set to submit the probe report to the district magistrate by Friday. The committee will piece together all the facts and data collected along with its recommendations and hand over the final report to DM Ramendra Tripathi.

When contacted the DM said: “The committee could not meet over the last two days as all the members were not in the city. On Thursday, the DIOS was busy with Kanya Vidyadhan programme.

Now all the four officials will sit together and give a complete shape to the report. I’m expecting the report in a day or two.” The DM added: “Once I get the report from the committee I will forward it to the chief secretary.”  Members of the inquiry committee stated that they had recorded the statements of the principal and students of Loreto Convent on the prayer session issue and would give their recommendations after examining the statements.

CM’s assurance
CM assured the Vidhan Sabha that the State Government would not allow any injustice to the farmers. The CM stated this in response to allegations of BJP MLA  Hukum Singh, who raised the issue of misuse of government funds to the tune of Rs 1000 crore.
