Two prominent schools in Kolkata will be the first to be audited by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in a bid to improve security on school campuses. Following the murder of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur at a Gurgaon school, the CISF had written to various schools last month offering them consultancy services for a security audit. While the CISF has conducted preliminary meetings with 22 schools and institutions, two approved the proposal and CISF will start the audit by first week of January. “We had written to individual schools as well as foundation that run many schools informing about the service we offer. Sources said that prominent schools carry out a security audit by private companies, which cost Rs 20 lakh while CISF offers the same service for Rs 4-5 lakh.
