In a shocking incident, students of a government school in Madhya Pradesh's Maihar district were served the special Republic Day mid-day meal on scraps of waste paper and torn pages from old notebooks, instead of plates.

After video clips of the incident went viral, the district administration has ordered action, officials said on Tuesday. The video shows students sitting on the floor and eating halwa-puri served to them on torn pages from old notebooks and books. Taking cognisance, Public Relations Officer for Satna and Maihar, Rajesh Singh, said strict action has been initiated.

A proposal for suspending the in-charge Principal of the Government High School, Sunil Kumar Tripathi, has been forwarded.
