The Delhi government is considering taking over management of a private school in Janakpuri after authorities failed to respond to a show-cause notice concerning a serious safety breach.
Education Minister Ashish Sood announced that educational department officials visited the school, collecting documents that will be verified. If these are unsatisfactory, the government may seek judicial intervention.
An investigation cited violations such as inadequate CCTV coverage and unapproved premises usage. Meanwhile, a staff member was arrested over the alleged assault, with the case continuing under stringent legal scrutiny.
