The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has issued notices to all the public schools that have availed concessional land from the local authority. The GDA Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Gyanendra Verma said, “As per the Supreme Court directives, we have issued notices to 193 public schools. In the notices, we have sought detailed information to ascertain that the terms and conditions of the allotment are being followed properly.”
As per apex court directives, the schools that have availed concessional land from the local authority had to reserve 25 per cent seats for economically weaker section of the society. Their fee structure was also to be slashed by 50 per cent. All the detailed information about these provisions is being sought through these notices, added Verma. “After receiving the detailed information, we have planned to scrutinise the defaulters and to initiate legal action against them,” clarified Verma.
