A group of parents from the western suburbs, whose children studied at Oshiwara’s City International School, staged a protest at Azad Maidan on Monday (April 6) against the terms of the school’s sudden closure.

Parents said they received an email in the first half of February informing them that the school would shut down due to a hike in the land lease amount. They claimed there was no prior communication about the decision. “We had just paid the last term’s fees before the email was sent,” said a parent of a Std III student.
