School and hostel buildings lying without maintenance since the start of COVID-19 lockdown last year
In view of the planned resumption of physical classes in government schools, GHMC will take up special sanitation drive in State-run educational institutions including schools, hostels and anganwadi centres. Instructions have been issued on Tuesday by the Municipal Administration & Urban Development (MA&UD) department towards the sanitisation programme in schools across the State, following which GHMC is going ahead with the drive. The school and hostel buildings have been lying without maintenance since the start of COVID-19 lockdown last year, which necessitates the drive now. As part of the drive, all the classrooms, premises of schools and public toilets will be cleaned and disinfected. De-weeding activities will be taken up to clear the premises of unwanted growth of shrubs and grass.
