“I have called a meeting with the chief secretary and the education secretary on Monday to discuss the broader contours of the action panel. Modalities will have to be decided, but one thing is certain is that we will not tolerate such incidents,” said Dikshit while condemning the incident. While the government has ordered a probe, a senior education department official said initial investigations had revealed that the school in question was not recognised by the state government.
