West Bengal Education minister Partha Chatterjee Monday said the violence in North Dinajpur district in which two students were killed was not the handiwork of school children but "done by outsiders in an organised manner."
Reiterating the death of two students was tragic, the minister said, "We will get everything related to the incident probed and take strict action accordingly. None will be spared."
About the teacher strength in Darivit High School, where the violence had broken out on Thursday, Chatterjee maintained there were 22 sanctioned posts for teachers including five para-teachers going by the report of the district education department, "But may be the students were asking for additional teachers which is within their rights."
