A government primary school in a Mirzapur village in Eastern Uttar Pradesh turned into a dance party venue on the night of Rakshabandhan when relatives of the local village head apparently decided to celebrate a birthday party. Locals told them that it was the result of a party organised by village head Ramkesh Yadav’s family. “Assistant teacher Ashok Kumar informed me that village head Ramkesh Yadav organised a dance party on school premises. Tiwari said that the report with a request for action against the village head will be submitted to the district magistrate and the chief development officer. Ramkesh Yadav, the village head, accepted that a party was organised but denied attending.
