The director Rubinderjit Singh Brar contacted Chandigarh SSP Sukhchain Singh Gill and urged him to provide extra security outside Dhanas schools during the opening and closing hours. “Being a periphery area, there have been complaints about students taking drugs and teachers said they receive threats. The SSP has assured to depute cops from Friday,” Brar said.

The SSP said, “I have asked the Sarangpur SHO to meet the principals. A police van will be stationed outside the high school for 20 minutes at 2pm daily.”

Brar made the surprise visit to two high schools and a senior secondary school in Dhanas in the afternoon. On Sunday, Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher had got complaints against some teachers from students.

Principal of GMHS, Dhanas, Bharati Sharma refused to comment. A teacher of the same school, requesting anonymity, said, “It’s easy to blame; but only we know what we go through. We are scared of scolding students.”
