Delhi High Court slams Delhi AAP government over lack of infrastructure and ‘sad state of affairs’ in govt schools

Op India  

On Monday, the Delhi High Court came down heavily on the Delhi government’s Education Department over the lack of basic facilities like textbooks, notebooks, furniture, and the shortage of classrooms in Aam Aadmi Party government-run schools in Delhi. Reprimanding the CM Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government for its negligence, the court said that the Delhi government is responsible for jails like Tihar getting overcrowded since schools are not functioning properly. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora took cognisance of a report submitted by advocate Ashok Agarwal representing petitioner NGO ‘Social Jurist, A Civil Rights Group’, which had been asked by the court to visit the district’s schools in the previous hearing. The schools in question are GGSSS Khajoori Khas, GGSSS East Gokal Pur, SKV C-1 Yamuna Vihar, SKV Khajoori Khas, GGSSS Sonia Vihar, newly constructed SKV Sriram Colony Khajoori Khas, GGSSS Bhajanpura, GGSSS Dayalpur, GGSSS Sabhapur and SKV Khader Badarpur.
