It is absolutely shocking to see the state of our anganwadis in Ernakulam. Fifty-one centers are still operating without mandatory fitness certificates, all because of administrative delays like staff transfers! It's about our children's lives. We literally had a cobra found inside an almirah at a Karumaloor anganwadi because of a broken window. With 600 centers lacking their own buildings and struggling with fixed rents that don't match Kochi's market rates, these kids are being tucked away in unsafe, dilapidated structures surrounded by overgrown thickets. Why is child safety being treated as a secondary priority to bureaucratic convenience? We need the local bodies to step up, fill those assistant engineer vacancies, and ensure every single center is a fortress of safety for the little ones. No more excuses about paddy fields or missing window panes: fix it now! #parenting #safety #politics https://thoxt.com/l/op7mAo 🔗
