UP minister climbs boundary wall to inspect government inter-college, finds campus in disrepair

Uttar Pradesh Minister of State for Revenue Surendra Diler climbed over a boundary wall to inspect a government inter-college in Aligarh, discovering the campus in a state of disrepair. Despite the gates being locked, Diler entered the premises and found several classrooms with either damaged or missing roofs, while the student toilets were in poor condition.

Overgrowth of grass on the campus further indicated the lack of regular maintenance. Upon seeing the condition, Diler summoned the principal and directed immediate repairs and restoration of basic facilities for students. He also requested a detailed account of the funds allocated to the college by the district inspector of schools (DIOS) over the past decade.

The minister, MLA from the Khair constituency in Aligarh district, had visited the village on Sunday to offer condolences for a slain jawan. Local residents approached him regarding the poor condition of the college, prompting Diler to take action. He explained that while the principal promised to open the gate, the person with the key was tardy.

Climbing over the wall, Diler inspected the campus and found damaged or missing roofs in four to five rooms, as well as substandard toilets. The grass-covered campus highlighted the absence of routine upkeep. The DIOS, Puran Singh, confirmed that the grass had since been cleared but noted that the remaining issues would be addressed promptly.

The college has 17 rooms, but the damaged-roofed ones were not being utilized. The management committee's ongoing dispute was also brought to Diler's attention.
