School sessions in a dilapidated building at Pancheswar in Baitadi

Baitadi: The five-storied building of the school, which was built during the Panchayat period, has fallen into disrepair. After the collapse of the roof, teaching has been completely stopped in three rooms. In the remaining classrooms, two classes are being conducted simultaneously, but 300 students are terrified because of the fear of the building collapsing.

The dilapidated building of Chaturvahu Basic School built in 2034 BS at Pancheswar Rural Municipality-1, Sheri-Baisek on the border of Mahakali with India is also the polling station of Sheri-Baisek and Santola villages.

Local teacher Birsingh Ghatal said that the local leaders do not pay attention to the dilapidated condition of the school.

He said, "Despite voting as the leader said, the dilapidated Panchkothe building built 45 years ago with public donations has not been changed. Despite repeated requests, the plan of the building does not come. Did the villager feel the same? A situation has arisen that the government does not have the budget and the building has not been constructed."

About 300 students from Sheri, Baisek, Santola and Dharmaghat tolls are studying in Chaturvahu Basic School, which provides education up to class 8, said Jitsingh Ghatal, the principal of the school.
