Delhi – While Delhi hosts an ambitious AI Summit, showcasing India’s technological aspirations, the condition of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) schools paints a troubling picture. A school in Gorakh Park has reportedly fallen into severe disrepair, raising concerns about student safety.
According to parents and local residents, the school’s walls are crumbling, classrooms are poorly maintained, and basic infrastructure remains neglected. Despite repeated complaints, authorities have allegedly taken no effective action, leaving children to study in unsafe conditions.
AAP Slams BJP for Prioritizing Technology Over Children’s Safety and Education
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has sharply criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government over the neglect. AAP leaders argued that while India strives to be a global leader in technology, ignoring the safety and education of young students reflects a troubling misplacement of priorities.
“This is unacceptable. Children’s safety and education must be the government’s first priority,” said an AAP spokesperson. “How can India claim to be a world leader when students are forced to study in crumbling classrooms?”
