Hingoli school principal suspended after CJP protest over alcohol
A man named Abhijeet Dipke started a campaign called 'Improve Schools.'
He wants government schools to be better for kids who go there.
He visited a village school in Hingoli in Maharashtra, India.
People in the village told him the school principal used to drink alcohol at school.
That is against the rules and made people upset.
Dipke called a government officer, and a formal complaint was made.
The principal was then suspended, which means he was told to stop working.
Dipke was very happy and called it his first big win.
He dedicated the win to a man named Abdul and his father, and thanked people for bringing benches for the kids.
He wants the government to fix broken windows, toilets, and other problems too.
The principal of a Zilla Parishad school in Hingoli was suspended after villagers alleged he consumed alcohol inside the school premises.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke called the Block Development Officer during his visit, after which a formal complaint was filed.
Dipke dedicated the 'first win' to villager Abdul and his father, writing 'Ab rukna nahi hai, school theek karke hi rahenge.'
The Cockroach Janata Party is also demanding the recruitment of two more teachers, with protests to continue until demands are met.
The 'Improve Schools' campaign launched on August 15 found broken windows, clogged toilets, and inadequate seating at government schools.
