Sind Cosmopolitan High School Faces Safety Concerns Over Building Condition

The Sind cosmopolitan high school, located near Maroli church area of Chembur, has reportedly been operating from a building that is in a dangerous condition. Despite the safety concerns, classes were being conducted on the premises as an alternative location had not been made available.
