Doha School withdraws message that earlier announced its closure at the end of 2019-20 academic year
Doha Modern Indian School, Qatar (DMIS) on Thursday evening withdrew their earlier message wherein they had announced the closure of the school on Wednesday. The move had triggered panic and uncertainty to the parents and students of the school. The school had announced that it would close all the operations at the end of current academic year (2019-20) and had urged parents to ensure seats for their kids at other schools for academic year 2020-21.
Parents of around 2400 students studying in the school were left in jeopardy after receiving the text message. The students also include nearly 300 Karnataka students.
However, another text message from the school management on Thursday evening brought the relief to the parents as the school withdrew the earlier message and announced that “School activities will progress as normal”.
The full text of the message read “Dear Parent, Consequent to our SMS dt 30th Oct 2019 and deliberations thereafter, we hereby withdraw the message and are happy to inform that the school activities will progress as normal. DMIS.”
It was not immediately clear as what led to the School sending message announcing its closure and how issues were addressed and resolved within 24 hours.

Rape-accused 'godman' Kharat sent to judicial custody till April 14
Nashik (PTI): A court in Maharashtra's Nashik on Wednesday remanded rape-accused self-styled godman Ashok Kharat in a 14-day judicial custody.
Kharat was arrested on March 18 after a 35-year-old woman accused him of repeated rape over a period of three years. Following his arrest, multiple rape complaints were filed against him.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is conducting a probe against Kharat.
As his police custody ended on Wednesday, he was produced before the court. During the hearing, the SIT sought his judicial custody.
Accordingly, sessions judge B N Ichpurani remanded Kharat in judicial custody till April 14. He will be sent to Nashik Road Central Jail.
Kharat is scheduled to be produced in a court in another case on Thursday.
At least 10 FIRs, eight for alleged sexual assault or exploitation and two for cheating, have been registered against Kharat at Sarkarwada police station in Nashik, while the SIT has received more than 100 complaints over the phone against him.
On Wednesday, an SIT team detained Kharat's son Harshvardhan for questioning from their residence in Karmayogi Nagar here. He was let off at night.
The investigators are also trying to trace Kharat's wife Kalpana in connection with the probe against her husband. She is also named in a cheating case in Ahilyanagar district.
'Godman' Kharat heads a temple trust at Sinnar in Nashik and had several political leaders visit him over the years.
Last week, the SIT visited Kharat's office in Nashik along with a forensic science team, from where they recovered several documents, files and other evidence.
Notably, a 20-feet remote-controlled mechanised snake was also seized from his office. Kharat allegedly used the snake to make his visitors believe that he could control a live snake and thus possessed supernatural powers.
