Delhi govt asks schools to seek police help on noise, parking woes
The Hindu
Delhi schools instructed to prepare 'Action Taken Report' on noise pollution control measures by March 3.
The Delhi government has directed all private and government schools to write to police to address the issues of unauthorised parking and unnecessary honking around educational institutions as part of efforts to curb noise pollution.
In an order issued on Thursday, the Delhi Directorate of Education (DoE) instructed schools to prepare an 'Action Taken Report' (ATR) on measures implemented to control noise pollution and submit it by March 3.
The directive from the DoE was followed by a letter from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) regarding the enforcement of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2002, in schools by writing to the SHOs and preparing an ATR.
R.N. Jindal, Chairperson of Sovereign School in Rohini, highlighted the challenges faced due to unauthorised parking near school premises.
"Our school is located in a residential area, and overnight parking leads to major difficulties in cleaning the surroundings in the morning," he said.
He said that the congestion makes it challenging to ensure smooth movement near the school gates.
"We will write to the SHOs regarding the issue and hope their intervention helps in resolving it," Mr. Jindal said.
