In November 2019, the untimely snowfall in Kashmir had uprooted the Chinar in the school premises. The fall had damaged a classroom of the school and a part of the protection wall. When the matter was last year taken up with the Education department, it expressed helplessness saying that it had been discussed with the higher-ups and that they had no authority to even touch the Chinar.

Deputy Commissioner Bandipora, Owais Ahmad assured that the Chinar would be removed from the school premises in no time. Read More: Girl students in UP to receive self-defence training
