Hundreds of female students from Mandla Kanya Shiksha Parishad gathered on the morning of Thursday and marched to the district collectorate in Mandla. The protest was organized to demand the removal of the hostel warden, who has been accused of misconduct by the students.
The students presented a written petition to the collector’s office, outlining grievances that include alleged harassment and neglect of hostel facilities. They also carried placards calling for a transparent investigation and the warden’s dismissal.
The collectorate officials received the petition and assured the students that the matter would be examined by the district administration. No official statement from the warden or the school administration has been released yet.
