ഹോസ്റ്റലില്‍ പാമ്പ് കയറി; ഉറങ്ങിക്കിടന്ന നാല് പെണ്‍കുട്ടികളെ കടിച്ചു; ഒരു മരണം

A tragic incident has occurred at the Samsira Higher Secondary Residential School in Lohardaga, Jharkhand, where four students were bitten by a snake while sleeping in their hostel room. Twelve-year-old Varsha Oraon succumbed to the venom, while three other students—Manisha Kumari (14), Phulmani Oraon (11), and Anisha Kumari (11)—are currently receiving medical treatment. Following the attack, the hostel inmates were gripped by panic, and the resident teacher immediately rushed the children to nearby medical facilities. The news triggered intense protests outside the school as grieving family members and local residents gathered to demand accountability for the lack of safety measures. Local police intervened to bring the situation under control and calm the agitated crowds. This distressing event has sparked a wider conversation about the security and maintenance standards within residential educational institutions in the region.
