Tamil Nadu Introduces Three-Tier Colour Coding for School and College Building Safety
The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, plans to introduce a three-tier colour-coded system—red, yellow, and green—to assess the structural safety of school and college buildings. Public Works Department Minister Aadhav Arjuna announced that unsafe buildings will be marked red and sealed, while others will be categorized for repair needs or deemed safe for five years. The initiative aims to enhance student safety, improve coordination between departments, and allocate specific budgets for maintenance ahead of the monsoon season.
