Students were forced to take classes in open after the landowner locked the gate of the school in Razen Gund area of Kangan town here in Ganderbal district.
Head Master, Government Middle School Razen, Nisar Ahmed Balkhi told news agency Kashmir News Trust that on arrival, he found the school locked while students were waiting outside.
