Srinagar: Some 17 students of Girls High School, Rei Teng, Miskeen Bagh in the Khanyar locality of Srinagar fell unconscious after they displayed inappropriate behaviour.

School administration believes the school is haunted and has been witnessing the presence of evil spirits frequently after some of the Chinar trees inside the school were cut down.
The school is gripped in fear. We are unable to understand what has been happening to the students. We are scared and dont want to turn up here again, said a female teacher.
She said that recently Education Minister Nayeem Akhtar along with Director School Education visited the school and ordered the closure of school for ten days. We request government to relocate the haunted school as we are really scared of the presence of evil spirits here, the teacher said.
