30 students with bandages, parents storm into Thane school accusing teacher of 'merciless' beating
Thane (PTI): Parents of some students of a private school at Dombivli in Maharashtra's Thane district on Friday accused a newly-joined woman teacher of mercilessly beating their wards, and stormed into the institution to question the authorities about it.
A video of the parents storming into the school, located in Dombivli west, and the commotion that prevailed there went viral on social media.
Around 30 students, who accompanied their parents, could be seen with bandages applied.
The parents reached the school in the afternoon and questioned the management as to why the teacher beat up the students. They also demanded strong action against the teacher. The ruckus continued for a couple of hours.
Speaking to reporters, a parent of one of the children alleged, "The teacher beat up the children with an iron rod, in which they were badly hurt."
Another parent said, "Two days back, we had approached the same teacher with a complaint that the students are not able to understand what she taught. It appears that she beat up the students to take revenge."
Despite repeated attempts, the school management could not be contacted for a comment over the episode.
No complaint had been lodged with the police against the teacher.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
