INR 15 crores have been approved under the building repair of municipal schools so that the students studying in municipal schools should develop affection towards school and education. Thane Municipal Commissioner (TMC) Abhijit Bangar had directed to take up the repair work of the buildings and complete it as soon as possible after issuing the order for the school repair work. Accordingly, notices have been issued to the concerned executive engineers of some schools whose works are on the way to completion, schools whose works have not yet started or some schools whose works are progressing at a slow pace, and if the notice is not disclosed within the prescribed period, disciplinary action will be taken, the commissioner said.
There is constant movement of students in schools, so the repair of schools needs to be prioritised to avoid any accidents. Due to the fact that the repair work of the schools was not completed even though the task order was given in March 2023, Bangar said notices were sent to the concerned executive engineers.
