Information was given by education officers in Pune and Sambhajinagar that action will be taken against schools if 'Vande Mataram' is not sung. The singing of the 'Vande Mataram' song was conducted in schools in the city of Malegaon.

However, the teachers of the renowned Zumbarlal Pannalal Kakani Primary School in the city stated that they had not received any such order and therefore did not implement it or sing the Vande Mataram song. This matter has been revealed in the reality check of Lokshahi Marathi.

It will be important to see what action the Tehsildar and the education department will take now.
