"The objectionable items found in the children's backpacks were not discovered all at once. Different items have been found in the bags of different students over the past several days. To discourage students from developing criminal tendencies, we check their backpacks every day," the vice principal said while speaking to the media.

Teachers of the school fear that some of the students may be using drugs, possibly even on school grounds. The incident has been reported to local authorities, and a thorough investigation is currently in progress. In the meantime, educators and families are calling for strict action and stronger measures to reinforce student discipline and enhance safety within the school premises, Lokmat Times reported.

The parents have also welcomed the school's initiative to inspect students' backpacks. One parent said, "The initiative being implemented by the school's teachers and principal is right because this is an age of misguidance. After parents, only teachers can instil good morals in children, so we support this initiative."
