It is learnt that the parents first objected to the increase in fee structure and picketed the school and then it was decided to hold talks with the school management, parents and education department officials and then decide on the fee structure and implement the same next month.

However, parents who were not sure of a solution to the fee structure problem gathered in front of the school in large numbers.

Councillor of the area, Nagarajan was also present, trying to sort out the issue.

Meanwhile, reports that the councillor was manhandled by a police officer led to commotion.

Following the assurance, the road blockade was lifted by the protestors.
