The state government of Uttar Pradesh has finalized a scheme to inspect all schools for safety measures. This decision comes after a Supreme Court ruling regarding school safety. The government plans to announce the details of the inspection soon. In a recent hearing, the additional advocate general reported to the Allahabad High Court that the government would file a status report on the inspections. The court has scheduled the next hearing for March 28. This action follows a public interest litigation filed by residents concerned about unsafe schools in residential areas. The court has asked for better security arrangements in these schools. The state plans to appoint a committee to ensure that inspections follow the Supreme Court guidelines. In December 2024, the court had directed the government to outline steps they were taking to improve safety in schools. The court emphasized the importance of these inspections and adherence to safety guidelines.
