*Owners of tea stalls at Doodhpathri asked to vacate within 10 days*

Budgam, May 22: Owners of tea stalls at Doodhpathri tourist resort of central Kashmir’s Budgam district have been asked to vacate the spaces they have been occupying within 10 days.

Several tea stalls have come up along the roadside at Doodhpatri ‘illegally’. The owners of these tea stalls have even erected tents and shades without seeking permission from the concerned department.

An official from the Forest Department told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that a team from the Forest Protection Force visited Doodhpathri and warned the owners of these tea stalls of action in case they don’t vacate the space.

He said that the Forest Department received several complaints wherein it was alleged that the owners of these illegal tea stalls not only cut the tree branches but also disfigure the beauty of the picturesque meadows of Doodhpathri. He added that the presence of these tea stalls poses a threat to the lives of the visitors as they have occupied the spaces above which HT line passes.

The team of Forest Protection Force informed the tea stallers using the public address system. “Anyone selling tea illegally after the deadline will face legal action,” the official said. [KNT]

*Schools cannot force students to buy books, uniform from a specific shop: DSEJK*

*Non compliance may invite fine of Rs 1 Lac, cancellation of registration*

Srinagar, Mar 29: The Directorate of School Education in Jammu and Kashmir has issued stern directives to private schools, warning against unauthorized fee hikes and unfair practices for the upcoming academic session of 2024-25. Schools found guilty of increasing tuition fees without proper permission may face fines of up to Rs 1 lakh, with the possibility of registration cancellation.

According to the newly issued instructions, private schools must seek approval from the Fee Fixation Committee before implementing any fee hikes. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in fines ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Additionally, schools, as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) are prohibited from mandating parents to purchase uniforms and books from specific vendors, promoting fair competition among suppliers.

Furthermore, the circular emphasizes that private schools are only permitted to charge tuition, annual, transport fees, and voluntary special purpose fees for activities like picnics and excursions. Any additional fees imposed beyond these categories will be deemed unauthorized. “In light of these directives, the Directorate aims to uphold transparency and accountability within the education system, ensuring that students and parents are protected from undue financial burdens and discriminatory practices,” said a senior Officer privy to the development.

Strict enforcement measures are outlined in the Jammu and Kashmir School Education Act 2022, with provisions for initiating action against schools found in violation of its regulations. The Directorate has urged parents to step forward and report any instances of non-compliance or unfair practices to the Chief Education Officer of the district or the Directorate of School Education—(KNO)
