In the backdrop of the Surat fire tragedy that claimed the lives of 22 students, Haryana Education Minister Ram Bilas Sharma on Tuesday said that strict action would be taken against coaching institutions which are not adhering to the rules in the state.
The institutions which are not registered would be sealed, he said.
The Minister said that instructions have been given to all coaching institutions in view of tragic incident happened in Surat. Deputy Commissioners and District Education Officers of every district have been issued directions by the State Government to do physical verification of coaching institutions being run in their respective areas and see if there is proper seating arrangement for students and all safety measures are adopted, he said.
Apart from this, they would also examine whether the stairs leading to institutes are open and has ventilation, he added.
Sharma said that registration of each coaching institute is necessary. Legal action would be taken against those coaching institutions which have not yet been registered.
Every life is precious for the government, so such coaching institutions which are not abiding by the rules, would not be allowed to run in the state, he added.
Notably, deadly fire in a Surat coaching centre (Gujarat) last week had resulted in the death of 22 students.
