The JKJCCPS delegation was led by its president Showkat M Chowdhary.
He apprised the DSEK about the “financial issues” the schools are facing for the transport services to the students.
The JKJCCPS demanded “the seating arrangement for the students be made as per 1:1.5 ratio.”
He also apprised the DSEK that the schools “only provide facility of sale of the books at the schools to the parents through booksellers.”
He informed the DSEK that a proper bill and receipt as per the MRP “is given to the parents”.
