Investigation underway after film screenings at Tirunelveli school
A probe has been initiated by authorities after a controversial incident involving a film screening at a school in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. The incident occurred when a local school reportedly showed Rajinikanth-starrer Vettaiyan and Vijay-starrer GOAT that sparked concern among students, parents, and the community.
The films in question were screened during an event at the school, and some parents raised alarm after they became aware of its content. Concerns were particularly related to the appropriateness of the material shown to young students. As the issue gained attention, both the school management and local officials faced criticism.
In response to the concerns, the District Education Department launched an investigation into the matter. The inquiry is focused on understanding how the film was selected, whether proper consent was obtained from parents, and whether the content adhered to educational guidelines. The school authorities are cooperating with the investigation, and they have been asked to provide details about the event and the circumstances under which the film was screened.
This incident has raised broader questions about the kind of media content that is suitable for children in educational settings, with calls for stricter oversight of such activities in schools.
