SHILLONG: Home Minister, James Sangma has said that the Government would have a review on the recent directive of the East Khasi Hills (EKH) District Administration wherein East Khasi Hills (EKH) Deputy Commissioner had asked District School Education Officer to withhold the annual examination results of those students who refused to take Measles Rubella Vaccination (MRV).
Speaking to media persons, James Sangma said that though he did not deal with the subject as it was a matter pertaining to Health and Education department but something like this ( order) should not affect the students
“Though we are concerned about the MR as it is a life threatening disease, but you cannot withhold the results of students based on not vaccinating themselves,” he said.
The move of the East Khasi Hills District Administration to withhold the results of the students of those students who refused to take Measles Rubella Vaccination (MRV) has already received flak from different NGOs and civil societies in the state.
