A visit by opposition leaders to the Kher Nagar civic school complex in Bandra East, Mumbai, revealed alarming conditions affecting approximately 650 students. Kishori Pednekar, the leader of the opposition in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), and corporator Sainath Durge reported broken benches, a lack of drinking water, and poor-quality mid-day meals, with some food items found to be past their expiry date. Students protested against these injustices, raising concerns about inadequate washroom facilities and a shortage of teachers, which they believe hampers their education. Pednekar emphasized the need for government attention to these issues, while Durge criticized the neglect of civic schools in recent years. In response, BMC education officer Kirtivardhan Kirtikudve stated that the administration is investigating the matter and will take action against any negligence by the meal supplier or school administration.
