The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) conducted inspections at two government primary schools in the Shastri Nagar-Bhatta Basti area on Sunday. They reported that both schools are lacking essential infrastructure. In response to these deficiencies, the CJP has given the local administration a deadline of seven days to make the necessary improvements.
This comes after members of the group were allegedly attacked while visiting a government school in Bagru. In a statement, the CJP claimed that the completed building of one government primary school had remained closed for several years, forcing children from the area to travel long distances to attend classes. The inspection came amid a controversy over a Rajasthan government directive restricting unauthorised entry into government schools. The order also cited legal provisions, including the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences ( POCSO ) Act, that could be invoked in cases involving violations of children’s safety and privacy.
The group said the second school was operating from a makeshift, cage-like structure without a proper building or essential amenities.
CJP Sets Deadline for Educational Facility Improvements
The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) has ordered the government to address the inadequate conditions at local schools. He stated that children should not be forced to study in such deplorable environments. The administration is required to ensure safe and adequate educational facilities at both schools within seven days.
