The schools, Baluhati High School, Baluhati Girls' High School, and Bantra Rajlakshmi Girls' School, have been asked to explain their actions within 24 hours. Reports revealed that some teachers and staff organized the protest, leading to concerns over students' involvement in political rallies across the state.
