A government-run school in Bihar's Vaishali district has come under scrutiny after students there complained that they were made to sit in separate classrooms for the past four years. The Nitish Kumar government has ordered an inquiry into the incident after the report surfaced.

The inquiry team has ordered action against the principal of the school at Lalganj in Vaishali district. The District Education Officer-led-team in its written recommendation to the education department has asked for stern action against the principal, Meena Kumari.

"From many years, the system of division of classroom on the basis of caste and religion is existing in the GA Higher Secondary School at Lalganj in Vaishali district. Separate classrooms were allotted for the students belonging to the upper castes, OBCs and Dalits. Similarly, there are also separate sections and rooms for students belonging to Hindu and Muslim communities at the school," confirmed Vaishali District Magistrate, Rajeev Roshan to news agency ANI.
