Whom should be blamed..

Death of a 6 year old Shruthi, due to negligence. :shock:

Shruthi, a student of ZION MATRICULATION School, Chennai was crushed to death by her own school bus rear wheel in which she travelled back home. There was a hole in the sixth row of the school bus for quite sometime which has been confirmed by many students who travel in the same bus. It was just covered with just a sheet of plywood and a big stone over it.

On the fateful day, when the bus took a turn the plywood moved and Shruthi slipped through the hole and got crushed in the rear wheels of the same bus.

The heights of the incident is "the Bus which had a hole was given FITNESS CERTIFICATE to ply for school children only a week back".

There are many such incidents happening everywhere, but somehow it doesn't come to light, those tricks the managements know how to handle.

But here, the situation was different, the residents who noticed it along with others burnt the bus right away which made the authorities arrest the School Correspondent, Driver, Conductor, Outsourced Contractor, Transport authorities... 6 in all. Management of other schools while answering query for the media comments that Correspondent should not be arrested, since it was outsourced, isn't it unfair..

Blame game began, pointing fingers at each other, whatever it may be, Can the parents have the child back again...

May the soul rest in peace...

Dear RKG Sister,

Hope the punishment given to the Six of them who were arrested should create some awareness and atleast knowing that someone is monitoring them, let the school authorities respect students' life as LIFE and be serious about everything.

Thanks for dropping in...

 

Dear Bunny Sister,

School Authorities who have outsourced the transport department have every right to check the worthiness, which has lead to death of an innocent child...

Now let this incident alert others, not to be only money minded and be serious about safety even before teaching...

Thanks for dropping in...
