A transformer installed outside the Corporation Middle School at Kalaimadu Silai area would pose a threat to the safety of the students, according to a few parents who staged a protest demanding its removal on Friday.
Parents said that over 200 students study from L.K.G. to Class VIII in the school. They said that the issue was taken up with the corporation and the electricity board. But, no steps were taken to stop the installation as work continued. They wanted the transformer to be installed at another location.
Erode Taluk police held talks with the parents and assured to take up the issue with officials concerned. Later, the protest was withdrawn.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
