Ratnagiri: Thousands of schools in the district are out of sight of CCTV cameras

Ratnagiri : It’s been a month since the Badlapur incident. However, the statistics of CCTV in schools in the district is still in the bag. Thousands of schools are still out of sight of the cameras. That is why the parents are asking the question that when CCTV will be required in Zilla Parishad and secondary schools.

Two girls studying in a reputed school of Badlapur were assaulted. After that, the government issued an order on August 21 to install CCTVs in all the schools in the state within a month. It has been a month now. However, thousands of schools in the district have not yet installed CCTVs. Therefore, parents have claimed that girls in schools are unsafe.

After the government passed the order, the secondary education department has issued a letter to 478 schools and ordered them to install CCTVs immediately. However, the statistics of how many schools have CCTV installed so far is not available with the Secondary Education Department. The Primary Education Department has requested a fund of eight and a half crore rupees from the District Planning Committee to install CCTVs in Zilla Parishad schools. CCTVs have not been installed in Zilla Parishad schools as the District Planning Committee has not approved the funds. Due to this, the parents are very angry.

Need to install cameras through public participation Primary Education Department has requested funds from the District Planning Committee to install CCTVs in Zilla Parishad schools; But it has not been approved yet. Therefore, the need to install cameras through public participation has arisen.

CCTV will fit, but what about the bill
Teachers as well as parents are getting tired while paying electricity bills in Zilla Parishad schools. The Zilla Parishad has demanded eight and a half crore rupees from the District Planning to install CCTVs in its 2389 schools. CCTVs are still not installed due to non-sanction of funds. But in the future, CCTVs will be installed, but what about the electricity bill, the question remains unanswered.
