Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday directed officials to immediately inspect and conduct safety audits of hostels, paying guest (PG) accommodations, coaching centres, schools and large educational buildings in the wake of a building collapse in Delhi earlier this week.
A 20-year-old student from Chhattisgarh's Durg district was among seven killed in the building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan area on September 6.
Addressing a high-level review meeting of divisional commissioners, inspector general of police, collectors, superintendents of police and senior officials through video conference from his official residence here, Sai said the safety of students and citizens is the government's top priority.
"Administrative responsibility is not limited to taking action after an incident. It is also our responsibility to identify potential risks in advance and eliminate them. Immediate inspections and safety audits must be conducted for hostels, PGs, coaching centres, schools, and large educational buildings across all districts.," an official release quoted Sai as saying in the meeting.
