A government primary school in a Mirzapur village in Eastern Uttar Pradesh turned into a dance party venue on the night of Rakshabandhan when relatives of the local village head apparently decided to celebrate a birthday party.
The school at Tetraihiya Kala Khurd in Jamalpur was closed on Monday due to the festival. When teachers reached on Tuesday, they found the premises littered.
Locals told them that it was the result of a party organised by village head Ramkesh Yadav’s family.
Assistant teacher Ashok Kumar informed the basic shiksha adhikari Praveen Kumar Tiwari about the incident. Tiwari instructed a block education officer (BEO) to carry out a probe in the matter.

Tiwari said that the report with a request for action against the village head will be submitted to the district magistrate and the chief development officer.
Ramkesh Yadav, the village head, accepted that a party was organised but denied attending. He said that he went to a relative’s house in a nearby village.
