Fuel tank found in South Delhi’s school

The Delhi Government has found an underground fuel tank in the basement of a prominent private school in Greater Kailash-II, prompting Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to order an FIR against it for “endangering” the safety of students. Sisodia said the students were sitting on a “ticking bomb”.

There was no immediate reaction from the management of the school.

Addressing a press conference at his official residence here, the deputy chief minister said a team led by a local Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) raided the premises of the K R Mangalam School’s GK-II branch on April 20 following parents’ complaints and found that the school was illegally storing petrol and diesel in the fuel tank.
