RUKUM, April 8: A school in the district is running its classes in the temporary sheds of the zinc sheet.
Kalika Primary chool of Mulijyuli of the Chaurjahari Municilaity-12, is operating the courses in the temporary sheds since days. The school currently has one four-room insubstantial building. The room has capacity of only 10 students. However, many students are compelled to attend the class in one small room.

The school management has demanded the local education department for the two-room concrete building since two years, after the declaration of the Chaurjahari Municipality. However, the District Education Department is consistently ignoring the demand, accused the local source.
