It requests the officials to send police to record the statements of students and parents of such schools.Advocate Kishore Pillai from the association said that one of the schools that had held back admit cards had assured that these would be issued on Friday. “We are hopeful that other schools will also do the same,” he said. The Vadodara Parents Association (VPA) made representations to the district collector and city police commissioner in this regard and demanded that an offence should be registered against such schools.A memorandum submitted to the district collector states that the managements of some schools were restoring to strong arm techniques by withholding admit cards of students who have been allotted roll numbers and admit cards by their boards. It adds that reports were also pouring in regarding students complaining of anxiety.The memorandum demands that criminal complaints be registered against the school authorities that were violating child rights and spoiling their future..
