School lodges plaint against bar in the vicinity

HYDERABAD: Authorities of a corporate school filed a complaint against a bar located adjacent to the school at Kandlakoya for dumping liquor bottles on its campus.  

Broken beer bottles were found on Niraj International School campus on Wednesday, following which the director of the school Gavish Reddy lodged the complaint against Seven Hills Restaurant and Bar.  

Gavish Reddy filed a case against the bar owners earlier in the High Court and both of them are supposed to appear in the court on February 12. The bar was opened in December last year. Reddy, in his complaint, claimed that it was illegal to have a liquor restaurant within 100 metres of a school. The school and the bar also share a common compound wall.

“This is a serious breach of property, safety and security of the staff and students of the school. Littering the property with the beer bottles also results in tarnishing the image of the school,” read the complaint by the school to the Medchal police station filed on Wednesday.

Reddy said, "The school authorities want serious action to be taken against the ones at fault."  Medchal inspector Praveen Reddy said they would visit the school on Thursday, investigate the matter and take necessary action.
