Despite the schools opening this week, the school board has not given the work order of the stitching the uniforms,” Kumbhar said.
In the letter addressed to Municipal Commissioner Mahesh Zagade, Kumbhar said, “The same school board had rushed to the high court for the removal of control of civic administration from its day-to-day functioning, despite the civic body providing all the funds to the school board.”
