Two years after demolition, new building not constructed at Thirumoorthy Nagar school in Udumalaipet
Students at a Thirumoorthy Nagar elementary school are facing overcrowding and infrastructure issues as authorities fail to construct a new building two years after demolition.
Two years after the old, dilapidated building of the Thirumoorthy Nagar Panchayat Union Elementary School in Udumalaipet was demolished, no new structure has been built. Over 50 students from classes 1 to 5 are forced to attend lessons in a single classroom borrowed from a nearby high school, creating a difficult learning environment.
Parents have submitted petitions to officials, but the education and rural development departments continue to shift responsibility between each other. Parents have now appealed to the District Collector to intervene directly and take immediate action to ensure a new building is constructed for the students' safety and education.
