LUDHIANA: Honouring the call made by the

protesting farmers

for

complete bandh

, district

schools

and

colleges

have decided to stay shut on December 8.


S P Singh, president of Gujranwala Khalsa Educational Council (GKEC), said, “We are extending support to the agitating farmers, who are staging a protest at

Delhi borders

against the three farm laws passed by the Union government.”

According to him, GKEC has decided to close down all its affliated institutes —Gujranwala Guru Nanak Khalsa College (GGNKC), Gujranawala College of Pharamcy, Gujranwala Guru Nanak Institute of Management and Technology(GGNIMT), Gujranwala Guru Nanak Institute of Vocational studies(GGNIVS) and Gujranwala Guru Nanak Public School (GGNPS). He also made an appeal to the central government to resolve the issue amicably at the earliest.

S K Chawla, president of Punjab Private School Organisation, who is also the principal of Shri Krishna Model High School, said, “All the schools will remain closed on December 8 in support of farmers. There will not be even online classes. No issue is so big that it cannot be resolved through Speaceful talks. The government should take timely and positive action.”

Mona Singh, principal of Guru Nanak Public School Model Town, said, “Our school is also supporting this bandh. Farmers are the backbone of our country. They work day and night, be it in the scorching heat or biting cold. An Indian farmer earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. Our late Prime Minister

Lal Bahadur Shastri

gave us the slogan, ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’, highlighting the fact that a farmer is as important as a soldier.”

She said her school is also organising many competitions like poetry recitation, slogans, poster making and speech allowing students to voice their views on farmers. Videos and images will be uploaded on the school’s Facebook page.
