NEW DELHI: The Delhi government is set to demolish 34 of its schools to address safety and infrastructure concerns, while constructing 27 new school buildings across the city, an official said.
The new school buildings, being constructed on vacant plots at a cost of around Rs 900 crore, are expected to be completed within 18 months, with the sites divided into five geographical clusters for faster execution and monitoring, the official said.
Of 34 schools identified for demolition, work is underway on 16, while nine cases have been approved. Some of these schools have waterlogging issues, while others have safety concerns or are located at sites considered unsuitable for students, the official said.
