Govt. has taken the right step

The news report that schoolchildren cannot be lined up on streets was published in most dailies on 28th January. It is a very good decision taken by the government, for which I congratulate them. For quite some time students have unnecessarily been diverted from their studies for the day; just for a meaningless gesture to ministers passing in front of their schools.
This important circular needs to be circulated to all primary and secondary schools all over the country. And authorities must ensure that local politicians and party enthusiasts do not influence the schools in their localities to carry out this meaningless exercise anymore!
