Asad Sali opens closed daham pasela at Anula Vidyalaya

A private daham pasela of Nugegoda Anula Vidyalaya in operation was closed down about two weeks ago by an order of Ministry of Education Governor of Western Province, was opened by compulsion yesterday (13). As a result of this action, a protest flared up in front of the school this morning (14) and as a consequence a traffic congestion was noted in High Level Road. 

What Principal of Nugegoda Anula Vidyalaya, Mrs. Jani Prasangika said was that the said daham
pasela was being conducted by a particular businessman without any permission and that other resources were misused in the process. As a consequence after a complaint lodged with Education Ministry, the daham pasela temporarily closed down. The governor has spoken to her over the phone and said that it was held today once again at the school premises. The principal said that under these circumstances Mr. Asad Sali has arrived at Anula Vidyalaya last morning in the company of a group of daham pasel students and had contacted over the phone and had influenced her to open the gate and therefore she has spoken to the security guard asking him to open the gate. The principal further said that Mr. Asad Sali spoke to her over the phone and had said that he is the governor the representative of the President. A senior officer of the Education Ministry has said that Nugegoda Anula Vidyalaya is a national school coming under his ministry and that the governor has no right to mediate in affairs of the school. He also mentioned that  the governor has used powers outside his jurisdiction and has engaged in reprimanding ... which is unethical. 

In the meantime what the senior officer of the Education Ministry sated was that the ministry has requested its officials to take action to close functions of the daham pasela operating in Nugegoda Anula Vidyalaya, two weeks back. This officer further added that its administration was notified to close the private daham pasela after an inquiry is held on complaints received by the Education Ministry. A crowd including parents of the schoolgirls were involved in a protest against this incident.
