Seetharam tells headmasters to alert officials about safety risks and act swiftly to protect students
State Commission for Scheduled Castes member Ravada Seetharam urged school administrators and educators on Wednesday to make the safety of children their top priority, urging them to promptly report any dilapidated buildings or structures to the government. Seetharam expressed condolences to the family of Class X student Tupakula Arunkumar, who tragically lost his life following a compound wall collapse at a government school in Saluru.
Following a meeting with the grieving family, Seetharam, under Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's guidance, toured social welfare hostels and schools in Boddavalasa, Saluru mandal. Some students had complained about subpar food quality at the hostels, despite multiple requests to authorities. Seetharam assured that the government would swiftly disburse funds for nutritious meals and the upkeep of hostels and schools, emphasizing that teachers and caretakers must ensure proper maintenance and meet government expectations.
