Lazu, Tirap;
Established in 1957, Government Secondary School, Lazu, is one of the oldest educational institutions in the region. However, the school is currently facing serious infrastructure challenges. The condition of the toilets is poor, with no proper water supply available for students and staff.

To make matters worse, a massive landslide struck the school compound a few days ago, damaging and destroying several classrooms. The incident has disrupted academic activities and raised concerns about the safety of students and teachers.

Students of this historic institution deserve a safe and conducive learning environment. The school urgently requires attention from the concerned authorities for restoration of damaged classrooms, improved sanitation facilities, and a reliable water supply.
