The Government Higher Secondary School in Tirumangalam, Tamil Nadu, has been without a proper compound wall for decades, exposing its 400 students, including 35 girls, to various safety hazards. The school's grounds, built on a waterbody in the early 1960s, suffer from flooding during heavy rains, leading to stagnant water mixed with sewage. Residents have reported that the open access allows stray cattle to roam freely and transforms the area into a haven for tipplers and drug addicts at night. The Parent Teachers Association has submitted a petition for a mini sports stadium, which would facilitate the construction of a compound wall. Despite the proposal being in the final stages, residents hope that local MLA M. Manimaran will prioritize the project to ensure safety for students and the surrounding community. The school boasts a 95% pass rate in Class X and XII board exams, highlighting the need for a secure environment for academic and athletic success.
