Khandepar School Kids Still Under Plastic Roofs
Imagine a school where the roof is made of plastic sheets!
That's the situation for kids at a school in Khandepar.
They've been learning under these roofs for two years because the person hired to fix the roof didn't finish the job before the rainy season.
The boss of the schools told the people in charge to make sure the roof got fixed before the school year started.
Now, they might have to wait until the Diwali holiday to get the building fixed.
Students at a government primary school in Khandepar, Ponda, will sit in classrooms under plastic sheet roofs for the second year.
The contractor failed to replace the roofs before the monsoon season.
The ADEI stated the contractor delayed work, unable to finish on time.
The Education Minister directed the PWD to ensure roof replacement before the new academic year.
The building has cracks and weakened rafters; repairs may happen during Diwali.
