Malappuram (Kerala), Oct 17
A family in Kerala's Malappuram on Friday sought action after their UKG student was left on the roadside for failing to pay the school bus fee.
The school at Chelambra is an aided management one where the salaries are paid by the state government, while the day-to-day running is done by a private management.
The family has approached the Education Minister, the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, and the police seeking justice.
The child, who was waiting for the bus as usual, was told that he could not board because the fee had not been paid and was allegedly left on the roadside without the parents being informed, as the bus went off without him.
The mother confirmed that the child will no longer attend the school, while school authorities maintained that they had no comment on the matter.
