Mohali School Overcrowding Sparks Criticism of Punjab Education Claims
Imagine a school where almost 300 kids and their teachers have to squeeze into just a few small rooms – that's what's happening in a school in Mohali.
The Deputy Mayor visited and was not happy!
He said the school is in bad shape and doesn't even have things like a playground or enough bathrooms.
The building used to be a place for community events and isn't safe for kids.
The Deputy Mayor wants the government to build a proper school with enough space and things for the students.
He believes that real change in education comes from fixing problems, not just making promises.
A Mohali school, accommodating 300 students and 8 teachers, is housed in just four rooms.
The Deputy Mayor of Mohali, Kuljit Singh Bedi, criticized the Punjab government's education claims after visiting the school.
The school lacks basic facilities, including a playground and proper kitchen.
Bedi stated the school building was a renovated Dharamshala and is unsafe.
Bedi urged immediate action, including a new plot and proper construction.
