Punjab News: In order to protect the health and safety of students, the Punjab government, led by Bhagwant Mann, has made it mandatory for schools in Mohali to test their drinking water. The goal of the project is to make sure that all children can access safe, clean water at school. This is meant to address long-standing concerns about the quality of water in schools.
Strict orders were issued
Following the instructions, the District Education Officer of Mohali has been told to test all drinking water samples from all schools a thoroughly way. It will be possible for these checks to cover both public and private organizations. The orders say that student health must not be compromised at any cost and require quick action to be taken if unsafe water sources are found.
Officials said that the testing would be done in conjunction with the health and sanitation offices to make sure that the reports are correct and sent on time.
Promise of the Mann Government
The government of CM Bhagwant Mann has always made education and the well-being of students top considerations. This new order fits in with the state’s larger goal of giving kids safe, healthy, and caring places to live.
The Chief Minister has said many times that basic services like clean water for drinking are not changeable. By pushing for tighter monitoring, his government hopes to get rid of the risks of water-borne diseases like cholera, jaundice, and diarrhea, which are more common in kids who go to school because of dirty water.
Punjab News: Alerts sent to schools
People in charge of Mohali schools have been told to fully support the testing drive. Many people have already started doing basic checks on their water storage systems, pipelines, and filtration units to make sure they are in line with the rules. However, the authorities also said that anyone who doesn’t follow these instructions will be punished severely.
Teachers’ groups and parent organizations are happy with the choice because they say it will give families peace of mind that their kids are safe at school.
After Mohali, the Punjab government is likely to expand this water testing program to other areas, making it a safety standard for the whole state. To keep kids from falling behind, officials also said that regular checks will be the practice in schools instead of one-time checks.
