A sealed two-storey building in Rafinagar, Govandi, which used to house a civic-run Hindi and Urdu-medium school, continues to stand adjacent to a row of classrooms that are fully functional. While some students who used to attend classes in the former structure have been shifted to a nearby Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation school at Shivaji Nagar, lessons are still taught in the rooms adjoining the sealed building, which comprises the MPS Rafinagar school.
Additionally, a gate frequently accessed by parents and students stands close to the sealed structure. When mid-day visited the building declared dangerous, with cracks visible in the wall of the structure, while support pillars pointed to deterioration and water seepage.
