The move by the government comes in view of the recent alleged sexual assault on a four-year girl old by a private school principal’s driver in the school premises in Banjara Hills.

Viewing this incident seriously, the government decided to take measures to prevent untoward incidents where safety and security of children is compromised due to negligence of school authorities and inability to take timely action.
