CJP School Theek Karo Campaign Flags Moula Ali Safety Risks
CJP volunteers visited a government school in Moula Ali to see how it was working.
They said the school itself was doing better than some other schools they had visited.
The biggest concern was an isolated railway area near the school.
Volunteers said people may gather there to drink alcohol or use drugs.
The headmaster said children now leave together, and girls are collected by their parents.
The school also has a bus service that helps students travel to school.
CJP wanted police and railway officials to improve safety around the area.
The volunteers could not talk directly to students because they did not have official permission.
CJP Telangana visited Moula Ali Government High School as part of its seventh School Theek Karo campaign visit.
Volunteers highlighted an isolated railway stretch outside the school where they alleged alcohol and drug use occurs.
The headmaster said students now leave in groups, while parents collect girls and teachers discuss safety with students.
The school’s RTC bus service, midday meal and water supply were praised by CJP volunteers.
CJP could not survey students because it lacked permission from the Malkajgiri DEO and said it would wait about 10 days for a response.
