GRAB THE LAND, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK, NO MATTER IF IT BELONGS TO SCHOOL OR AT THE COST OF CHILD RIGHTS

PRESS CLIPPING OF THE REPORT PUBLISHED IN "MID-DAY"

Boundary wall of the MCD Primary School that was demolished and reconstructed by eating away the play ground of the school merely to satisfy the selfish interest of some interested persons of the area. In their eyes future of the child, their education and play is of ZERO value & importance. But we're only shocked as to how come MCD Officials

worked hand in gloves with such people???

Walls of the school boundary demolished, play ground meant for small children snatched - is a violation of the strict orders of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.

The Commissioner MCD issued order No.D/60/ADC(EDU)/2002 on 24.09.2002 that was circulated to all concerned in the Department for strict compliance of the same.

This order very clearly speaks as under:

"एक अति महत्वपूर्ण जन हित याचिका के फलस्वरूप माननीय उच्च न्यायालय दिल्ली के शैक्षणिक गतिविधियों के अतिरिक्त किसी भी अन्य कार्य हेतु तथा कसी भी वाह्य संसथान को दिल्ली नगर निगम शिक्षा विभाग के प्राथमिक विद्यालयों के प्रांगण या कमरे आदि को कोई स्थान नहीं दिया जाए, यह निर्देश जारी किये थे| इसी आशय पैर शिक्षा समिति के समक्ष राखी जानकारी के आधार पैर प्रस्ताव संख्या 72 दिनांक 17.02.2002 धारित हुआ, ताकि शिक्षा विभाग माननीय उच्च न्यायालय के निर्देशानुसार कार्यवाही करें |

समस्त क्षेत्रीय उप शिक्षा अधिकारीयों / सहायक शिक्षा अधिकारियों को पुन: उपरोक्त जानकारी वांछित कार्यवाही हेतु ... की जाती है |"

An appeal to my countrymen,

MY DEAR FRIENDS & WELL WISHERS OF BHARAT,

One fine day I saw some persons breaking and demolishing the boundary walls of the Municipal Corporation Primary School, situated at South Extension Part - 1, behind Mother Dairy booth near C Block Housing Society, New Delhi - 110 049. The enquiry revealed that the small gali named Jag Ram Mandir lane and lane for entry to Ravi Das Basti both in Kotla Mubarakpur and adjacent to the school was being widened by cutting a huge portion of the play ground on the land belonging to the school and also huge piece of land from the playground on the Children's park. This sent a shock wave in my spine. I started thinking as to how can some body become so mean and afford to snatch land from the play grounds both of which are purely for children use and play. I spoke to many people in the area but no one even dared to speak on the issue. I wondered why? No one wanted to protest!! I was shocked ... then we, the members of "astitva" decided to fight for the restoration of rights of small children and demanded immediate release and return of the land to the school to get justice for the children. Was I wrong in doing so?

My dear friends, we shall appreciate if you send in your valuable comments and boost our moral.

Thanks a lot.

We have immediately forwarded complaints to the Commission for protection of Child Rights in the Central Govt. and the State Govt. (Delhi) demanding immediate release of the land in question and restoration of the Child rights by delivering justice to thousands of small children.

We have also filed immediate applications before the appropriate authorities asking them to provide information in the form of documents on the grounds on which such immoral act was committed by the Senior Officers of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
