Parents of children who study in a government school at PGIMER campus here today held a protest, accusing the authorities of the prestigious medical institute of "closing" down the school under a conspiracy.
Union Health Minister J P Nadda who was here to attend convocation of National Institute of Nursing Education (NINE) pacified the angry parents and assured them to look into the matter.
"I have been informed about your problem. I will find a way and I will look into your issue and a way out will be found out," said Nadda.

Police force was deployed to calm down the angry parents.
Addressing media here, Shiv Murthy, who was leading the protest, accused PGIMER Director and local municipal councillor of "conspiring to close down" the school.
