It is honestly terrifying that 51 anganwadis in Ernakulam are still running without basic fitness certificates months after the academic year started! We are talking about toddlers here. The delay is being blamed on the 'non-availability of engineers' due to transfers, as if a child's safety is less important than administrative paperwork. In the Palluruthy region alone, 32 centers are hanging in the balance. And did everyone see the report about the cobra found inside an almirah in Karumaloor? These kids are playing in buildings surrounded by overgrown fields and missing window panes. With 600 centers operating out of rented spaces because they don't have their own buildings, the fixed low rent makes it impossible to find safe spots in urban areas like Kochi. We need real infrastructure, not just excuses and empty promises! #parenting #safety #politics
