KP Trust nod to school fee hike

ALLAHABAD: Chaos and vandalism marked the general body meeting of governing council of the KP trust here on Sunday after the office-bearers introduced a set of new proposals to be passed. Heated exchanges took place between the two rival groups even as the proposals were passed by the general body.
Trust president T P Singh said proposals passed include setting up of a school for mentally retarded children, a polytechnic, swimming pool for children, coaching centre for competitive examinations and raising the enrolment fee.
The above proposals have already been passed by the executive body and on Sunday they were put before the general body after which gave rise to heated arguments between the two rival groups each accusing the other of ignoring the interests of members of the community. But after the passage of proposals, office-bearers including the president left the spot while supporters of the two groups were involved in heated exchanges for quite sometime.
The group opposing the president claimed their voices were not heard and they were refrained from expressing their views by supporters of the president, said Kumar Narayan and Dr Vivek Srivastava. They said the issues were not discussed properly and passed without taking their consent and ignoring the views of members.
