The Zomi Students' Federation, ZSF general headquarters has today announced the closure of Blue Star Academy for an indefinite period over the punishment of a girl student who reportedly underwent four stitches on her ear.
The student body alleged that the school's Geography teacher had yesterday inflicted serious injuries to a class X student, pulling the girl's ear severely for addressing him as madam.
The student had to undergo four stitches on her earlobe owing to the severe punishment given by the teacher.
Blue Star Academy has had past history of serious corporal punishment, the federation alleged.
As such, the student body has decided to close down the school indefinitely until amicable solutions are arrived at.
Mention may be made, the school had made it to the news some years back as one of its student was severely injured after a teacher allegedly kicked the student.
