British-Era School in Mumbai under invigilation for unauthorized construction

A 150-year-old school in Sion, Mumbai, is under investigation for allegedly using an unapproved facility for its operations. St. Mary's High School is the subject of an inquiry by the Education Department that may result in sanctions or potentially the school's recognition being revoked.

Founded in 1869, St. Mary's High School has been a household name for generations. Recent complaints, however, indicate that the school has breached building laws, and its legality is now in question. The authorities acted on complaints of illegal construction on the school grounds. The Education Department has now initiated an investigation to check if the construction was done according to legal procedures.

Official will see documents and authorization pertaining to school infrastructure and study if the school building was properly built with needed permissions. The school may be subject to severe sanctions or could be refused recognition if it violates any rules. Many have questioned how these kinds of facilities have been permitted to function without adequate approval after the case exposed flaws in monitoring school structures.

Education officials caution that illegal construction is a safety hazard for students and teachers. The incident has also highlighted the necessity of greater monitoring of school buildings in Mumbai to prevent violations of safety and legal standards. In spite of increasing worries, the school administration has not made any official statement about the charges or the current investigation. Now, local parents and citizens are waiting for the Education Department's final decision, which is expected to be made shortly.

The inquiry will decide if the school can proceed with operations or undergo severe action for non-adherence. The case has also generated debate on the need for regulation enforcement to avoid such offenses in other schools
