'Unfortunate': Allahabad HC Questions UP Govt For Stationing State Forces In Education Institution Buildings For Magh Mela
10 Dec 2024 3:12 PM
Last week, the Allahabad High Court expressed its concerns over the Uttar Pradesh government's recent decision to requisition the buildings of educational institutions in Subedarganj (Prayagraj) to station state forces to meet any mishap on account of the upcoming Magh Mela.
The Magh Mela is one of the greatest annual religious affairs for Hindus. It is held annually in the city of Prayagraj, drawing millions of pilgrims and devotees. The mela began in November and will continue until mid-March 2025.
As part of the security and administrative preparations for the event, the Uttar Pradesh government recently took control of several educational institution buildings in and around the Mela area to station state forces.
A bench of Justice Ajit Kumar referred to the move as "unfortunate" and questioned its impact on students, especially those enrolled in institutions affiliated with the U.P. Board of High School and Intermediate Education, as board exams are approaching soon.
