Group Threatens Agitation Over Closure of 800+ Schools in Uttarakhand
According to a September 24 report, a group identified as CJP has threatened agitation over school conditions in Uttarakhand and questioned the state's closure of more than 800 schools.
Current Summary
A group called the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has threatened to launch an agitation over school conditions in Uttarakhand, questioning the closure of more than 800 schools across the state. CJP is stepping up youth outreach in Dehradun and plans a physical meet at Gandhi Park this weekend, with an exact date yet to be finalised, followed by a larger Dehradun protest once a series of meetings is complete; a protest date has not been announced. North zone coordinator Shreshth Singh Khera said the party's agitation will centre on four issues: improving the government school education system, addressing corruption affecting the public, stopping alleged misuse of police, and ensuring accountability across government departments. Khera criticised the state administration for allegedly failing to register FIRs and take action despite complaints, and cited the Ankita Bhandari case in questioning why it was not handed to the CBI earlier.
