Hyderabad: 6-Year-Old Dies In School Gate Collapse; Family Demands Justice

Family members and supporters, including members of the Students Federation of India (SFI), gathered outside the school to demand justice.

Hyderabad news: A six-year-old boy lost his life when an iron gate collapsed on him at Hayathnagar Zilla Parishad School, located on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Tuesday. Tensions erupted as the boy’s family staged a protest demanding justice and accountability from the school administration.

The boy was identified as Ajay, son of A Chandru. According to the police, the incident occurred on Monday around 4 PM when Ajay, a Class I student, was playing near the gate with other children. Some children reportedly climbed on the gate and began swinging it back and forth which caused the weakened welding joints to give way. The gate fell inflicting severe head injuries on Ajay. Despite multiple hospital transfers, Ajay succumbed to his injuries, as reported by IANS.

Following the incident, the father of the deceased, A Chandru, gave a complaint to the police in Hayathnagar, reported Deccan Chronicle. 

Family members and supporters, including members of the Students Federation of India (SFI), gathered outside the school to demand justice. The protesters insisted that the school principal take responsibility for the boy’s death and sought Rs 20 lakh in compensation for his family. Rangareddy District Education Officer (DEO) Sushinder Rao met with the protestors to address their concerns and discuss potential actions.

Another student in Telangana also lost his life during school activities. Fayaz Hussain, a Class IX student at Mahatma Jyotibha Phule Telangana Backward Classes Welfare Residential School in Nirmal town, reportedly experienced uneasiness while playing baseball. He was rushed to a nearby government hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.

Police have registered cases in both incidents and investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding these events. However, the two incidents have raised concerns over safety at schools.
