Days after several AAP MLAs visited Municipal Corporation of Delhi-run schools and highlighted their "poor condition", the MCD has issued an order restricting the entry of outsiders, saying they can only enter with prior permission of senior authorities.

The order also states that no visitors are permitted to take photographs or videos of the school campuses, nor are they permitted to file a police report if anyone tries to enter the premises forcefully.

The order was issued on Tuesday, a senior official said, and shared a copy of the order.

On August 27, some anti-social elements entered Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Nand Nagri, on the pretext of being parents and attacked a school teacher, causing him serious injury during school hours. On September 3, similar incidents took place in several MCD schools.

The order issued by the education department said that in order to make school a safe and secure place for all concerned, including students, staff, and parents, the entry of outsiders should be given with due permission of the department only.

The AAP legislators, including the party's chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj, live-streamed their visit to the schools on social media platforms on September 3, highlighting the "poor condition" of their buildings, classrooms, toilets, and campuses, and criticising the BJP for raising concerns about the Delhi government's spending on school construction.
