A BMC school in Kandivli has been accused of using 11 students as labourers to load and transport a consignment of heavy benches and desks in a tempo from another school around 10 km away.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Amit Keni, vibhag secretary of the MNS, spotted the children on the back of a truck, crammed in with several wooden desks and benches. What caught his attention was that the kids were in their school uniform. He followed the vehicle for about half a kilometre, trying to get to the bottom of the matter. He finally flagging down the driver near the Bata showroom on SV Road, Kandivli West. The driver told him that the kids were students of the Ganesh Nagar civic school.
