RANGIYA, May 9 � The Prime Minister�s Office (PMO) has reportedly directed the Union Government�s Higher Education Department to take necessary action regarding non-inclusion of Assamese as a subject in the Red Horns Army Public School being run and managed by the Army here.
This directive from the PMO was a result of a local youth named Md. Matiur Rahman having written to the former and sought suitable action.
�In response to my correspondence on the matter under review, the PMO sent me letter No. PMOID PMOPG/B/2015/59584 dated 10-04-2015, signed by the concerned Section Officer of the PMO, where it directed the Government�s Department of Higher Education to look into the matter and initiate necessary action,� Rahman told this correspondent.
A public protest meet in this connection was also held earlier, it may be mentioned. The said Army school happens to be one of the oldest English-medium school here and has been catering to the educational needs of many civilian children, besides giving employment opportunities to many local educated youths.
