No students to teach,but teachers get paid in two WB schools

Two government-aided girls' schools in West Bengal's Nadia district have no student on their rolls for the last three years but the teachers and other staff are drawing salaries each month.

There are 14 teachers in two schools - Uma Shashi Nimnataro Uchha Balika Bidyalay and Tarak Das Shiksha Sadan Junior High School for girls - who mostly while away their time by reading newspapers, magazines and plain gossiping.

Both the schools are housed in good buildings where there are facilities like drinking water, toilets, common rooms and others.
