Parents and the management of Pope John School have appealed to the Water Resources Department (WRD) to immediately address safety concerns caused by incomplete restoration work outside the school premises.
According to parents, recent rainfall has left the school’s parking area and access pathway muddy and filled with potholes, making it difficult for students, parents and staff to enter and exit the campus safely.

They have also expressed concern over visible cracks and a hole in the safety wall along the adjoining irrigation canal. Parents fear the damaged barrier poses a serious risk to children who use the route to reach the school every day.
The school management has joined parents in urging the WRD to take prompt action by repairing the damaged pathway and parking area, while also strengthening and restoring the canal-side safety wall to prevent any potential accidents.
Parents said the repairs are essential to ensure the safety and convenience of students, especially during the ongoing monsoon season, and have called on the department to complete the pending restoration work without further delay.
