New Delhi: The Delhi
Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) has issued a
notice to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), asking why
there is a delay in demolition of 35 MCD school buildings that
have been declared unsafe.
This, the commission said, was a violation of the Right to
Education (RTE) Act. The DCPCR is responsible for monitoring the
implementation of the RTE Act in Delhi.
"The commission has received information that some of these
buildings had been declared dangerous two years back, yet the MCD
engineering department has not responded to several requests from
the education department," a DCPCR official said.
"Taking a serious view of the matter, the commission has asked for
an immediate action by the concerned authorities of the
engineering department. It has also asked the civic authorities to
submit a list of dangerous school buildings along with a detailed
report," the official added.
