The Morning Standard
|April 03, 2025
THE Delhi High Court has directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to take urgent measures to secure a school under its administration, following concerns over unauthorised construction, illegal shops, and a religious structure within the premises.
The court emphasised the need for immediate action to safeguard students.
The case, brought before the court via public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the Save India Foundation through Advocate Umesh Sharma, highlighted serious security lapses.
The petition raised concerns that multiple unmonitored openings, including windows and doors facing the school, could compromise student safety.
