Bharatpur based Chitwan Secondary School has waived shutter rent of one-and-a-half month amounting to Rs 3 million for business persons. The school took the decision taking into consideration the impact on business by the lockdown imposed against COVID-19.

According to the school management committee chair Dilliram Lamichhane, the school has been monthly raising Rs 2 million from shutter renters. "We have waived the shutter rent of one-and-a-half-month which amounts to Rs 3 million," Lamichhane informed.

The Chitwan Medical College premised on the school land is paying a rent of Rs 5 million every month, the school sources said.

The school management committee has decided to waive the rent to all businesses excluding Chitwan Medical College and a petrol pump which is in a court case.

Chair Lamichhane said the school has been annually collecting rent Rs 300 million from its all land and shutters. Acting on an application of a businessperson citing inability to pay rent for zero business due to lockdown, the school management committee took the decision.
