TSA condemns burning down of Sugnu St Joseph’s School; Demands stringent actions be taken against perpetrators.
The Thadou Students’ Association, General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ) condemns in the strongest term the burning down of St Jospeh’s School, Sugnu by unknown miscreants on the night of April 25, 2019.
Such barbaric, shocking and reprehensible incident should be condemned by all right thinking citizens and all responsible should be brought to justice at the earliest and the State government must take stringent actions against them.
The forced closure of the school as a result of undue interference from some vested interests and subsequent burning down of the school is truly diabolic and a great loss to the students and the community as a whole.
If at all any individual or organization had any legitimate grievances or disputes with the school authority for whatever reasons, the matter should have been taken up with a competent authority or the law court, but forcibly closing or burning down the school as a show of anger or power is a total madness that would not at all bring a solution in any manner.
Even as we stand in solidarity with St Joseph’s School and its students, we appeal to all concerned to stick together to rebuild the great school and make it possible for the school to resume as soon as possible in the larger interest of the students.
We would also like to call for concerted efforts to make educational establishment free from violence and thugs and to prevent recurrence of such incidents in the future.
