The Delhi High Court expressed astonishment over the notion of operating a school without classrooms, emphasizing the necessity for class facilities in an MCD-run primary school in Khirki Village. Despite permissions granted for boundary walls and other facilities, the absence of classrooms remained a grave concern.
This observation surfaced after the court was informed that authorities had approved the repair and renovation of certain amenities, excluding classrooms. The school, built in 1949 beside the Tomb of Yusuf Qattal, saw its original structure demolished in 2012, affecting 350 students displaced to another institution.
The court criticized both ASI and MCD for delays, urging prompt application and approval for classroom construction. The urgency stems from the increased population in Khirki Village, requiring expedited action to serve educational needs adequately.
