Educational institutions have been directed to closely monitor all entry and exit points and immediately report any suspicious activity to relevant authorities. The notice also highlights the importance of maintaining an active communication system to enhance student safety and ensure timely responses to potential threats.
Officials have stressed that schools must strengthen their security arrangements and actively engage staff, security personnel, and local authorities to prevent any untoward incidents. The move reflects the government’s commitment to safeguarding educational environments amid rising security challenges.
