They started raising slogans. Eventually, police was called. Police asked parents to disperse or else they will be booked under the Epidemic Act for flouting social distancing norms. The parents refused, but police officials later took a written complaint from them and assured of handing it over to the management."Sunil Yadav, All Rajasthan Private School Parents Forum President, told : "Parents also staged protests at Modern School and Seedling Academy.
