She also said the fact of the matter is that on 23rd of April,2018 the Monday at the time of arrival, the school was having the usual partice of identification of the students by the school/class representatives (female students) on the basis of identity cards .
As some students were not carrying the identity cards and some were without the prescribed uniform beneath the veils on that day, the female teachers of the school insisted on their identification said Fatima shaheen to Kashmir News Observer (KNO).
