A video showing textbooks being loaded onto an e‑rickshaw at Satna's Kamta Tola government high school went viral, prompting the Madhya Pradesh education department to form an inquiry committee and issue a notice to the principal.
A short video captured staff loading bundles of textbooks onto an e‑rickshaw outside the Kamta Tola government high school in Satna, Madhya Pradesh. The clip quickly spread on social media, drawing public attention to the unconventional method of transporting school supplies.
The Madhya Pradesh education department reacted with alarm, stating that the practice raised concerns about safety and proper handling of educational material. In response, a two‑member inquiry committee was constituted to investigate the incident.
The department also issued a formal notice to the school's principal, holding him responsible for overseeing the transport of the books. Officials said the probe will determine whether any procedural lapses occurred and recommend corrective measures.
Authorities emphasized that while logistical challenges exist in remote areas, schools must adhere to established guidelines for the movement of educational resources. The outcome of the inquiry could lead to stricter monitoring of school supply chains across the state.
