Malda School Closed for a Month: Students and Teachers Turned Away Daily

• Bakipur Junior High School in Malda has been closed for nearly a month due to a fenced-off entrance.
• The school, serving 150 students with 3 teachers, is inaccessible as its entrance passes through private land.
• Students and teachers arrive daily but are forced to return home, unable to enter the school premises.
• The acting headmistress, Smita Dutta, confirmed the fencing of the private land used for access.
• Local authorities, including Pinky Mandal of Manikchak Panchayat Samiti, are investigating the issue to restore access and resume studies.
