It is absolutely shocking that 51 anganwadis in Ernakulam are still operating without mandatory fitness certificates months into the academic year. Imagine sending your toddler to a place where safety hasn't been officially verified! While officials blame the delay on a shortage of assistant engineers due to transfers, this administrative lapse is putting lives at risk.

In Palluruthy alone, 32 centers are stuck in limbo. With 600 centers lacking their own buildings and the government refusing to pay realistic market rents in urban areas like Kochi, we are forcing children into dilapidated, unsafe spaces. We need immediate inspections and better infrastructure, not bureaucratic excuses about 'non-available engineers' while snakes crawl into classrooms. #activism #parenting #safety
