Delhi Minister Orders Action on School Waterlogging
Imagine it's raining really hard, and the water can't drain away from some schools in Delhi.
This makes the school areas flooded.
The new Education Minister, Ashish Sood, has told the people in charge of roads and water to fix this problem.
They will clean the drains to help the water go away and spray medicine to stop mosquitoes.
The minister said that the old government didn't do a good job with the schools.
They built the schools on ground too low, so the water collected, creating potential health and safety problems.
The current government wants to fix the damage from past failures.
Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood has ordered action to resolve waterlogging issues in schools.
Civic agencies will tackle flooding in schools across Nithari, Kirari, Molarband, and Madanpur Khadar.
Immediate measures include drain cleaning, desilting, and removal of stagnant water.
Mosquito-control and anti-larvae medicines will be sprayed to prevent disease spread.
Sood blamed the previous AAP government for the recurring flooding problem.
