Women Congress stresses on full-proof safety of students in school

Ranchi, Feb 7: Jharkhand State Women Congress demanded quick action into the brutal murder of a Class 7 student inside a private school campus in the state capital.

The body of Vinay Kumar was found near the teachers’ hostel at the private school. Police said he was murdered around 1.30 a.m on Thursday.

Police sources said the boy’s liver was damaged as he was beaten up, while his head injuries indicate that he was hit by a hard object. His face was also disfigured.

Police detained a few teachers and a security guard of the school, while a police source said the art teacher was under suspicion.

Congress leader said Chief Minister Raghubar Das has not even bothered to meet the parents of the victim.

The Congress also questioned the role of police.

“Police seem to be clueless about the incident. The state government is in deep slumber. The chief minister, who holds the home department, seems least bothered about the case.

A young boy is murdered in the school campus and the chief minister does not bother to speak to the parents,” Jharkhand Congress leader Shashi Bhushan Rai said.

Meanwhile Jharkhand State Women Congress, general secretary, Gayatri Das said, after an incident in Delhi school, the government there has made a law for students safety in school.

�A safe place should be in school which can protect the students from natural calamities and arrangements should be made for students who suffer while playing and doctors can be made available. Safety from electricity should also be in place in every school.

Mrs. Das further said that school buses and autos should have speed limit and drive within it which doesn�t possess danger for students. Stairs inside the school should not be without railing and no lifts should function without operator.

She noted that there are 43 crore children in our country which makes it 1 per cent of the total population and every 30 minutes a child falls prey to one or the other incident.
