Parents have been making a litany of complaints about private school owners for continuing charging fee even in Covid-19 shutdown.

They made an appeal to authorities for looking into the matter so that they could be provided them with ‘some’ relief.

Some of them complained that even 20 percent cut by government in school fee has nothing to do away with relief in such a financial crunch.

“Since steps to stem Covid-19 spread have left us in deep financial trouble, we are finding it difficult to make both ends meet,” a father of two said requesting anonymity.

He questioned as to why the admins were charging when school buildings were not using electricity and other such utilities they need to pay during coronavirus shutdown.
