Tamil Nadu Introduces Colour-Coded Safety System for School and College Buildings
The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, plans to implement a three-tier colour-coded system—red, yellow, and green—to assess the structural safety of school and college buildings. Minister Aadhav Arjuna announced that unsafe buildings will receive red stickers and be sealed to prevent use, while others will be categorized for maintenance urgency. The initiative aims to enhance student safety ahead of the monsoon season, with inspections conducted by the Public Works Department and coordination with the School Education Department.
