It has been nine years since the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) gave its approval for the development of a plot at Janta Nagar, Tardeo for a much-needed school in the area. While the construction of the five-storey building was completed in 2009, the school is yet to open for kids, and it seems that the painting work is still on.

The deputy municipal commissioner of education said he would look into the reasons for the delay. Pic/Sameer Markande
