Members of Marathi Abhyas Kendra — an organisation promoting cultural and lingual significance of Marathi — gathered with citizens and political activists at Mahim on Sunday to express dissent outside the now-shut building of what once was the civic-run New Mahim School. The gathering alleged that the public was shown no structural audit for the building’s closure and that the land was once allotted to schools was not being utilised for student welfare.
The group made seven demands; the first being immediate repairs and reinstatement of the New Mahim School, followed by disclosure of structural audit reports. They demanded action against repairers if the school buildings are being declared dangerous within a short period of repairs, while asking for the reconstruction of Marathi schools in a timely manner. “BMC should publish information on the expenditure on Marathi-medium schools out of the total expenditure on education on the website,” stated a list of requests by the group.
