Let us tell you that after the summer vacation, all the government schools in East Singhbhum district were opened from June 5. Presently the schools were being operated from 7 am to 1 pm. On the other hand, since 11 am, the scorching sun had made life difficult for the people. Children coming to study in government schools walk one to two kilometers and come empty stomach in the morning. While they are getting heatstroke in the sudden hot sun, they are also fainting in the class room itself. On Friday, a seventh student of Bhalubasa Harijan High School suddenly fainted. Immediately its information was given to Principal Arun Kumar Singh. He gave first aid to the student, after which she regained consciousness.
In view of the seriousness of the condition of young children, the Primary Teachers Association, through a memorandum to District Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav and Health cum Disaster and Management Department Minister Banna Gupta, demanded to extend the summer vacation till the onset of monsoon.
