NEW DELHI: A dilapidated government school building in Rajasthan’s Rampura (Kanwarpura) village, whose poor condition was highlighted by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) last month, was demolished by authorities on Wednesday.Visuals from the spot show the old building being brought down by a bulldozer in the presence of officials from the district administration and education department.“A few days ago, our team was attacked while on their way to inspect this school, which was being run under a broken shed. Congratulations to everyone, this school is now being rebuilt!” CJP wrote in an X post.

School had already been declared unsafe
The old building of Government Primary School, Rampura (Kanwarpura), had been declared dilapidated and unsafe following a technical survey conducted in September 2025. It was subsequently taken out of use, news agency PTI reported.The Rajasthan government had last month announced that a new school building would be constructed at a cost of Rs 18 lakh.Of the total amount, Rs 12 lakh was sanctioned from the District Mineral Foundation Trust (DMFT) on August 13, while another Rs 6 lakh was allocated from the MLA fund.The school came into focus after a CJP team visited Rampura village last month as part of its ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign, which sought to highlight the condition of government schools. The visit, however, led to a confrontation between CJP members and villagers, with FIRs being registered from both sides.
