The minister added that Deputy Commissioners have been instructed to coordinate with the Panchayat, Education, Local Government, Irrigation, Public Works and related departments to ensure that school buildings are safe for students.
“Management committees of all schools were instructed to ensure at their level that the buildings are safe. Institute heads and school management committees will be held responsible for the security of the students,” Bains said.
The minister added in flood-hit areas, the DCs concerned would take a call on whether to reopen a particular school based on the relevant conditions such as waterlogging in the area.
