New Delhi: Delhi Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma on Friday ordered a vigilance inquiry into the construction of government-run schools.
Verma was on an inspection visit to Palam, where the local residents complained about waterlogging in the area, and a government school principal highlighted the problem of leakage in classrooms.
"I visited a school where the principal complained to me about the flood-like situation inside the school building, which was built by the previous government," Verma told reporters.
"I have ordered a probe regarding this, not only this school but all that have been constructed by the previous government," he added.
The minister, who will also visit Najafgarh Surakpur Road, said the vigilance investigation would involve looking at the aspects of the tender awarded, maintenance contracts, and other details of the work executed at the time.
