Days after an 11-year-old student was killed when a tree fell on a school bus in Chembur, the BMC's Education Department has directed all municipal schools to carry out immediate monsoon safety checks. School heads have been asked to inspect buildings, classrooms, trees, electrical installations and other vulnerable areas to prevent rain-related accidents.
