Safety inspection of school buildings pending in Kozhikode
The Hindu
Reopening of schools scheduled on November 1
The safety inspection of many school buildings is yet to be completed in Kozhikode even as preparations are in full swing for the formal reopening of schools in compliance with the COVID-19 protocol on November 1. The fitness certificate for schools will be given only after assessing a series of additional safety measures in view of the pandemic situation and the fluctuating weather conditions.
The latest instruction from the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights makes it clear that no fitness certificate will be granted to school buildings constructed by private managements without following standard building procedures. Buildings without plastered walls will not be considered for issuing fitness certificates.
School buildings located in environmentally sensitive areas will have to clear multiple levels of inspections by authorities apart from local body administrators concerned to secure clearance.
