Mumbai, 11 Aug (HS): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra

Fadnavis has issued orders to conduct third party audit of every Ashram Shala

getting grants from the government. He also issued orders to permanently withdraw

licence of Japatlai Ashram Shala in Gadchiroli, where three girl students died

of snake bite.

The students in the school had to sleep on the floor

due non-availability of cots. The negligence in administration also came to the

fore. Fadnavis said that lapses in security of the students will not be

tolerated.

Besides permanently cancelling licence of the

school, the officer who issued compliance report to the school had been

suspended.

Three students died due to snake bite, while three

others have been hospitalised. The condition of one of them is critical.
