Although Ameerpet attracts a significant number of students, previous reports from The Times of India revealed concerning conditions of these centers. During a safety visit a few years ago, it was observed that many buildings lacked even the most basic fire safety equipment. Shockingly, some of the fire exits were found to be locked and inaccessible. The classrooms faced issues like inadequate ventilation, with sources mentioning that they frequently exceeded their intended capacity. For instance, classrooms designed for 20 students often accommodated 40 students during sessions, raising concerns about safety and overcrowding in these educational facilities.
