Jatin Lal has directed schools in Himachal Pradesh’s Una district to ensure safety against bees, wasps and mites. The advisory calls for regular cleanliness, inspections and safe removal of nests, along with student awareness to prevent accidents and minimise risks within school premises.

Una (HP), April 10: Una Deputy Commissioner Jatin Lal on Friday issued an advisory to principals and administrations of all government and private schools in the district to ensure safety against bees, wasps, and other insects within school premises.

In a letter to heads of educational institutions, he said instances of beehives, wasp nests, and colonies of 'rangar' (mite) at school premises including building rooftops, trees, vacant rooms, storage areas, verandas, and surrounding areas, are frequently observed.

He said such nests can pose a potential threat to the safety of students, teachers, staff, and general public residing in the vicinity of the schools, directing school administrations to exercise caution and ensure that necessary preventive measures are implemented in a timely manner.

The deputy commissioner ordered that regular cleanliness must be maintained throughout the school premises including classrooms, rooftops, verandas, store rooms, restrooms, surrounding trees, and the vicinity of the school boundary wall, to minimise the likelihood of insects forming nests.
