Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia shared the measures taken by his government following the death of Pradhyuman Thakur. In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Mr Sisodia said while education was a responsibility of the government, it was a "mistake" to trust private schools. Pradhyuman, a Class 2 student of Gurgaon's Ryan International school, was found murdered inside school premises on September 8. The incident has raised concern over safety of children in schools. Yesterday, Mr Sisodia, who holds the education portfolio, had announced a series of tough measures, which includes mandatory police verification of every staff member of every school and the use of functional CCTV cameras at various spots inside schools.
