Enraged over schools without any playgrounds being allowed to operate for standards one to eight in the national capital, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Centre and Delhi government why the "shop-like schools" were being allowed to function.
A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar asked the Ministry of Human Resource Development to answer how the schools were operating under the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) when they "looked like shops".
"These are schools? They look like shops. They are running standards one to eight? Don't they require a playground? What are you (Centre, Delhi government) doing?
To this, the bench said,"If there is no playground and it is a shop-like school, you (Delhi government) can immediately take a decision within 10 minutes."
