Confirming this, Ashwani Kumar, Assistant Estate Officer, said that the notices have been issued under Section VIII of the Capital of Punjab Act, 1952. "Around 15 schools have been issued notices. We have also given them a stipend period to work on the anomalies. In case the schools fail to do so, either eviction proceedings will be initiated against them or the land also maybe resumed."

Schools including DAV Model School in Sector 15, Delhi Public School in Sector 41, Bhavan Vidyalaya and Shivalik Public School have constructed auditoriums in the basement. While the structure is against the bylaws, they also pose a threat to the children's safety as these have only one exit and there are hardly any fire safety measures.

While DAV School has raised the height of the boundary wall and constructed an extra basement in front of the hostel, St Kabir and St Stephen's School have increased the height of the outer wall by putting up a fence. St Kabir School has also constructed an open stadium in the school.
