Mumbai Shifts Over 1,200 Students from 164 Unauthorised Schools Amid BMC Crackdown
Over 1,200 students from 164 unauthorised schools in Mumbai, which served around 5,000 students, have been shifted to recognised schools run or aided by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and other authorised institutions. Despite free admissions and an admission centre in Shivaji Nagar, parental response to shifting efforts has been limited. The BMC has registered FIRs against 77 unauthorised schools and intensified actions, including structural audits and legal proceedings, to enforce closures and ensure compliance with regulations.
