Playground to a school being lost

A large number of city schools have little or no open space for children to play games in. But the irony is the miniscule minority of institutions that could boast one are fast losing out on this vital arena for extra curricular activities. The case in point is the Eskaton Garden High School whose entrance is blocked by piles of sand. As you stumble into the iron-gate gaining an entry to the school you see children running helter-and-skelter along the corridor. Why? Because the maidan the school has had is filled with materials for construction of a new building.
The sense of denial for the parents is intense because the school authority are filling up the ground to increase number of classrooms without having secured necessary permission from the agencies concerned. The main school building is on government khas land necessitating Rajuk's approval for its construction in the first place. Whilst that approval had not been taken now the defiance of law has been doubled by the fact that new addition is being similarly built without permission.
Actually, the secondary and higher secondary education directorate which supposedly were tasked to ensure that schools have proper environment had been also bypassed.
The school authorities' argument is queer in that they claim since no high-rise building was involved they thought they didn't need any approval from authorities. Rajuk should look into this.
The parents' grievances are legitimate and hopefully the educational authorities will try and defend the right of school children to open spaces.
