A state-run primary school in the sleepy district of Mahasamund, 100 km (60 miles) from the state capital Raipur, is not the place most people would associate with a drink and drugs scandal.
But that is exactly what is alleged to have happened in the village of Chandimona. Two of the school's three teachers have been suspended after 91 pupils aged between five to 11 years old were introduced to the perils of cannabis and liquor. According to the investigating officials, both the accused teachers were addicted to alcohol, and decided to mix liquor in the food to make it more tasty. The cannabis, officials say, was used to expedite the cooking of pulses. They say that the drug no doubt raised a few pulses too. So outrageous were the extras to school lunch, they would have been enough to make a rock star blush. Officials say that one of the accused is the school's alcoholic principal, who wanted to liven up mealtimes.
The cafeteria at my workplace could definitely use a few tips from this school's principal and liven up our lunch time. Click here for the complete news report.
