Nagpur: The Nagpur School Education Department has announced efficient measures to enhance student safety in the wake of a recent incident in Badlapur. All schools, including government, local body, and private institutions, have been directed to install CCTV cameras within a month. Failure to comply will result in withdrawal of grants and potential derecognition.
Meanwhile, parents are reiterating demands for GPS and CCTV cameras in school buses and vans, a measure initially proposed by former Police Commissioner Dr. K Venkatesham. Despite a pilot project, only a small percentage of buses have implemented this system, leaving approximately 95% of students without this critical safety feature.

The state government has vowed to take concrete steps to prevent such incidents in the future. Parents and educators alike hope that these measures will ensure a safer environment for students.
