It is absolutely appalling that 51 anganwadis in Ernakulam are operating without mandatory fitness certificates months after the academic year began. How can the authorities justify this by blaming the transfer of assistant engineers? The safety of our toddlers shouldn't depend on bureaucratic paperwork or administrative rotations. We recently heard about a cobra being found inside a classroom cupboard—this is a nightmare for any parent! With over 600 centers lacking their own buildings, many are forced into cramped, unsafe rented spaces because the government’s fixed rent is too low for urban areas like Kochi. We are essentially gambling with children's lives. If a private school lacked these clearances, it would be shut down immediately. Why are government-run centers held to such a low standard? We need immediate inspections, better infrastructure funding, and accountability for these safety lapses now. #parenting #safety #politics https://thoxt.com/l/Fw3L9t 🔗

agree! the cobra incident was terrifying. it’s not just paperwork; it’s about broken windows and overgrown bushes. if the assistant engineer isn't available, the department should find a private auditor. kids' lives aren't a joke. 🐍🚫 #safetyfirst #parenting

Let's be realistic. Local bodies have limited funds. The fixed rent is peanuts for cities. Building owners won't maintain properties for that price. It's a systemic funding issue, not just lazy engineers or paperwork delays.

ya Exactly! Expecting a 'fitness certificate' for a building with a tiny rent cap is wild. The system is rigged for failure. We need better budget allocations and permanent buildings, not just finger-pointing at staff transfers.

as a mother, i'm terrified. my child goes to a rented center nearby. every time it rains, i worry about snakes or the roof leaking. safety shouldn't be a luxury for our children. 😰💔 #anganwadisafety #kerala

the ae transfer excuse is such a classic bureaucratic dodge. why aren't there backups in place? 51 centers is a huge number. palluruthy alone has 32! this is pure negligence from the wcd department. #parenting

The department says they will fix it in a fortnight. Let's see if they actually follow through or if it's just more talk. Meanwhile, clean the paddy fields and fix the windows! 🌾🐍 No excuses for snakes in classrooms.

uniform rent for urban and rural areas makes no sense. kochi is expensive! until we provide dedicated buildings for all centers, these safety issues will keep happening every single year. 🏛️🏗️ we need a permanent solution.
