It is noteworthy that in a government school in Ayodhya district of UP, the headmaster of the school has been suspended after a video of students being given rice mixed with salt as food went viral.

The District Magistrate said that this action has been taken on clear evidence and a detailed investigation will be done in the matter.

In a two-minute video created by a parent of a primary school student, children can be seen sitting on the ground eating rice and salt served as a midday meal.

In the video, a man (whose face is not visible in the camera) can be heard saying, "The teacher and the pradhan (village head) have refused to take responsibility, then who is responsible. You can see." It is that these children are eating rice and salt. Who would like to send their children to such a school. Yogi Baba (CM Yogi Adityanath) should watch this video." The camera then shows the midday meal menu painted on the wall In which milk, roti, pulses, vegetables and rice are written.

The man then says, "Where is the rice-salt mentioned in this menu?"
