Special Cabinet Sub-Committee interim report proposes relaxation of fire safety, building safety rules for private schools

The committee’s interim report proposes easing fire‑safety and building‑safety rules for private schools, but insists that fire extinguishers, sand buckets and other protective gear must be installed in all schools to protect children. The committee noted that stringent rules could burden schools financially and suggested a phased compliance approach. It also stressed regular drills and staff training to uphold safety standards.
