One week back we came to know about an incident of roof collapse at Mayoor School at Sector 126 Noida. It was the accident happened during construction and resulted into death of one labour at the site.
The District Magistrate , Gautam Budh Nagar , first time in Noida history, took Suo Moto cognisance of the incident and set up a Magistrate inquiry covering many points. The order for inquiry report was circulated on all Social sites by DMGBN Warroom
In an another incident at a restaurant a labour by mistake reverse the connection of water line resulting into sewer water coming into wash basin leading to a customer fall ill. Police took the note of complaint and initiated legal action against the owner. However it’s a different matter that in many sectors for number of times, noida authority is delivering sewer water in water lines as reported from time to time by residents but no action against ACEO or CEO, the Owner / Administrator of NA.
Both incidents are appreciative that enforces rule of law. However, action against owners in the cases , where they had contracted the works to labour agency , is disappointed one.
But then Law is above every one and we understand that actions against Owners will bring a sense of responsibility and accountability.
Now let’s talk of similar incidents at Jewar Primary School where a boys condition is critical as reported in newspapers. It happened due to collapse of roof in a primary school which clearly stated the dilapidated condition of school. This is not the only government school where building is in dilapidated condition. Infact many school in Noida are not having even toilets for staff , forget the children. Who is Owner of government school ? Who is care taker of school? Who is administrator of school? Is there any magistrate inquiry ordered in this incident? If it has not happened, is it that only poor family send children to government school? Why can’t BSA be suspended in this case? Why cannt funds needed to build up and repair of school be obtained ? Who is the Officer who has stopped funding? Whether Hon’ble CM is informed of this deplorable condition of school buildings? Whether BSA want himself to be in TV and newspaper for wrong reasons waiting for an accident like Gorakhpur hospital? Whether anyone has taken bribe to construct such building where roof is collapsed? What would have happened if it was collapsed during class time? What action is proposed by BSA to make every government school safe & secure & hygienic ?
And the Yaksha prasan: Whether a common man can lodge FIR against BSA, the administrator of primary schools, in such incidents?
Hope as a common citizen and in honest government of Hon’ble CM Adarniya Yogi ji , we have right to get response , without any discrimination between a government and private run school , same punishment for same cause , to set up rule of Law.
