Bulldozer Demolishes Dilapidated School in Bagru, Rajasthan After CJP Dispute

A bulldozer arrived at a deteriorating school in the town of Bagru, located in Rajasthan's Jaipur district, to demolish the building that had been declared structurally unsafe. The demolition followed a high‑profile disagreement with the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana, which had drawn attention to the school's condition and ownership issues. Local officials said the structure posed a safety hazard to students and the surrounding community, prompting the decision to clear the site.

The school, described as "jarrar" (dilapidated) in local reports, had been the subject of protests after the CJP intervened over concerns about the building's compliance with educational standards. After the legal tussle, the state education department ordered the removal of the building to prevent any further risk.

Residents observed the bulldozer work throughout the morning, and district authorities confirmed that the demolition was carried out under official supervision. The site is expected to be cleared for future redevelopment, though no timeline for a replacement facility has been announced yet.
