Sisodia: DDA anti-education

Reducing land allotment for school

New Delhi: Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday lashed out at the BJP-run DDA (Delhi Development Authority) for not giving enough land for construction of a school that has been operating out of an Eidgah, calling the DDA anti-education. However, no immediate response was available from the BJP or the DDA. 

Sisodia said the DDA committed to the high court to give 4,000 sq metre of land to the Delhi government for construction of a school, which has been operating out of an Eidgah since 1976 in Ballimaran area. 

"But now the DDA is saying it would allot just 1,600 sq metre of land and reduce the number of classes where children would be taught. 

They are planning to give just a lane for the school which is not acceptable," he told reporters.
