Police block access to Indian Catholic school
St. John’s Senior Secondary School in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh town compelled to hold online classes for its 2,300 students
“We have been using the approach road for 35 years and it is closed now,” said Sister Sophy Bharat, principal of St. John’s Senior Secondary School in Damoh district in Madhya Pradesh.
“A contingent of police personnel on June 22 night descended in front of the school gate and dumped construction materials and immediately erected close to a 100-meter-long wall. It blocked our entry and exit through the approach road,”
Superintendent of Police Rakesh Kumar Singh told UCA News on June 27 the road was on police land. “It was not their road, let them construct their [own] way in their [own] land.”
