Protesters removed students from the school and staged a sit-in outside, demanding immediate intervention by the District Education Officer (DEO).
The protesters warned that if prompt action was not taken, all schools in the area would be shut down in protest. They insisted that classes would not resume until the DEO personally addressed the issue.

Following negotiations between the team and local residents, the school was reopened. A formal inquiry committee has been constituted to conduct a thorough investigation.
