HC scolds Kejri for malfascilities

The NGO has also claimed in its plea that the land earmarked for a playground for the school kids was being used for dumping garbage and domestic waste.

The AAP government was pulled up today by the Delhi High Court for lack of infrastructure and basic amenities, like water and toilet facilities, in a fully-aided, government school here.

Terming the situation in the 100 per cent government-aided school as “pathetic”, a bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar ordered immediate provision of water and toilet facilities in the school.

The court also directed the Deputy Director of Education to conduct a physical inspection of Alok Punj Senior Secondary School at Karawal Nagar in northeast Delhi to ascertain its other infrastructural inadequacies.

The school was run earlier by a society but was taken over by the Delhi government later.

The bench ordered the Education Department official to file a status report within 10 days after carrying out the inspection and listed the matter for further hearing on July 30.
