Haryana Government Orders Safety Audit of All Public Schools After Student Fatality

The Haryana government announced that every government‑run school in the state will undergo a safety audit after a recent student death raised concerns about infrastructure and emergency preparedness. The decision was taken by the state education department, which will coordinate the inspections in collaboration with the public works and health ministries.
Officials said the audit will assess structural integrity, fire safety measures, electrical wiring, and the availability of first‑aid facilities. Schools will be required to submit compliance reports within a stipulated timeframe, and any deficiencies will be addressed promptly.
The move aims to prevent further tragedies and restore confidence among parents and the community. The government has not disclosed a specific deadline for completing the audits, but it emphasized that the process will be swift and thorough.
Stakeholders, including teachers’ unions and parent‑teacher associations, have welcomed the initiative, urging swift action to ensure student safety across the state.
