In a tragic incident, a concrete slab at a government school in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer district collapsed, leading to the death of a six-year-old student, Arbaz Khan, and injuring teacher Ashok Kumar Soni. The tragedy unfolded as the school was letting out, drawing public and political concern.
The unfortunate event comes just three days after a similar collapse in Jhalawar claimed seven lives. Arbaz Khan's family, in shock and anger, staged a dharna outside the school premises. Discussions between the authorities and the grieving family are reportedly ongoing.
Rajasthan's Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma faces increasing calls for action to prevent further incidents amid the rainy season. The former Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot, highlighted the urgency of the situation in a statement, urging immediate safety measures for all school infrastructures.
