Port Blair, Jan 04: Master S Ajith, a IX standard student of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Middle Andaman, Panchawati on 30 December 2018, suffered major injuries after falling from first floor of the school building. According to parents of the student, he suffered major injuries in head, face and he also suffered some internal bleeding and for which he has been admitted in ICU.
Parents, who hail from poor family, living in Manpur village, allege that the accident happened because of careless attitude of the school, who failed to keep students under control. Not only this, parents allege that after such major accident no school teacher accompanied the student to Port Blair. As per parents the student came all the way to Port Blair with medical staffs of Rangat and there was no one from the school, which is supposed to be a boarding school.
After objections raised by parents two days back two teachers were sent to Port Blair by JNV Middle Andaman, Panchawati authorities.
Andaman Sheekha tried to contact the Principal of JNV Middle Andaman, Panchawati over land line and mobile but no one responded even after dozens of calls.
“If this remains the attitude of JNV Middle Andaman, Panchawati then how can parents consider that their children are safe in the school,” questioned Mr. Anand Amrit Raj a grassroot leader of South Andaman area. The boy originally hails from Manpur village of South Andaman.
