The West Bengal government has issued show-cause notices to three schools in Kolkata's Howrah district for allowing students to participate in rallies during school hours. These rallies were part of ongoing protests over the rape and murder of a woman doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College Hospital. The School Education Department emphasized that involving students in such protests violates their rights. The government has barred students from participating in these protests and is seeking explanations from the schools involved.
