Key Questions Answered
Feces were reportedly found in the water tank of the Panchayat Union Primary School in Manur village when it reopened following the quarterly holidays.
An inquiry revealed that the Syntex tank was empty and contaminated on Monday, and it was immediately cleaned with bleaching powder while drinking water was supplied from another location, meaning no students used water from that tank.
Parents staged a protest over concerns that the water might have been used for the breakfast scheme, prompting district education and police officials to conduct an on-site inquiry, after which a case was registered under three sections against an unidentified person.
