Summary
- Cockroach Janata Party revealed unhygienic toilets at SRV Govt Higher Secondary School.
- The 180-year-old school's toilet building is slated for demolition.
- Alternative washrooms have been arranged for students' use.
Visuals depicting "stinking and unhygienic" toilet conditions at the 180-year-old Sree Rama Varma (SRV) Govt Higher Secondary School in Kochi were released by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The organization conducted an audit as part of its 'Fix the Schools' campaign, highlighting cracked walls and a generally dilapidated state.
School officials confirmed that the toilet building has been earmarked for demolition due to structural concerns. Alternative washroom facilities have been arranged for students, and the school has formally requested the Kochi Corporation to expedite the demolition process. The presence of cigarette butts was attributed to laborers working on auditorium renovations.
The CJP plans to extend its school audits to tribal regions across the state, addressing various educational issues. The Deputy Director of Education stated that an inspection would be conducted, and necessary actions would be taken if the toilets are found to be unhygienic.
