(PTI) Mirzapur, Ta. August 23, 2019, Friday

The Uttar Pradesh government was swept up in the state during the mid-day meal scheme, giving salt to children in a government school. One teacher gives the children bread and the other appears in a video giving them salt. The opposition was surrounded by the government on this issue. The incident took place at Seur School in the Jamalpur block in the region.

The video went viral on social media on Thursday. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra surrounded the state government on the issue. Describing the incident as deserving of condemnation, he said that the facilities provided were of a very low standard. "We received a report from a Jamalpur block education campaign officer," Primary Education Officer Pravin Kumar Trivedi said today. At the primary stage, we suspended two teachers'.

Tiwari said that it was suggested to provide lunch in accordance with the prescribed menu. We also tried to find out if the senior officials there were informed about this. Suspended teachers included Murari and Arvind Tripathi, adding that the incident may have been due to local competition. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tagged the video on Twitter in which children were seen eating namak and roti.
