Activist Claims Expired Food Packets Found at Maharashtra School
Abhijeet Dipke visited a government school in Maharashtra.
He said packets used to prepare food for students had expired.
He showed spice packets that he said expired in February.
He also said the school’s water filter did not work.
The students were therefore drinking borewell water, according to his claim.
He said the bathroom had no water.
Dipke also said 87 students had only two classrooms.
His campaign asks the government to improve schools and take responsibility for problems.
