Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan — Not given admission to my son after being selected in RTE category through lottery

Address:

Kvs 3 imphal near lamlong bridge

Dear sir/ma'am

My son khoichung Jirsuathui was shortlisted in RTE category through lottery conducted on 23/06/2021 for admission into class 1 kvs 3 akampat imphal,[protected] session. And my family is presently living at National Game Village Meitei Langol which is only 7.5 km radius from kvs school akampat located at lamlong bridge, Imphal. But unfortunately he was rejected by the concerned school authority saying his residence is more than 5 km away from the school location. Whereas it is clearly mentioned in the rule of RTE category of kvs that candidates whose resident is in the minor city/ rural area and within the radial distance of 8 km from the school are qualified for the said admission. It's been smelling something fishy. Kindly help me resolve the problem.
