Calls for inspection of all coaching institutes to ensure safety and well-being students
Dedicated Committees constituted to assess compliance of all such coaching institutions to mandatory safety standards
SRINAGAR, JULY 31: Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate Srinagar, Dr. Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat, today ordered a safety audit of all coaching centers in the District.
The decision was made in light of the recent tragic incident at Rajinder Nagar, Delhi, where UPSC aspirants lost their lives due to the flooding of a building basement. The Deputy Commissioner of Srinagar has directed a comprehensive inspection of all buildings housing coaching institutions.
The inspection will focus on several key areas of concern: using basements for conducting classes, adherence to fire safety norms, compliance with building by-laws, prevention of overcrowded classrooms, verification of coaching centers operating from residential buildings, and the adequacy of escape routes in buildings.
A thorough safety audit of coaching centers, particularly in Srinagar will be conducted to avert any potential accidents in the future.
All private coaching institutions have been directed to cooperate fully with the inspection teams and adhere to the guidelines set forth to ensure the safety and well-being of their students.
Meanwhile, DC/DM has constituted dedicated Committees comprising Officers from all relevant Departments to assess the compliance of all such coaching institutions to mandatory safety standards.
The Committees have also been directed to submit reports within a reasonable timeframe.
Pertinently, on the directions of DC/DM preliminary inspections have already been conducted by the Executive Magistrates within their respective jurisdictions.
