A six-year-old boy died after developing breathing difficulties at Maharashtra’s Masvan tribal ashram school in Palghar, with his father alleging the school failed to inform the family, who learnt of the death from another student. The incident is the second student death at the school in 20 days, raising concerns over healthcare, sanitation and safety.
The father of a six-year-old student who died at Maharashtra’s Masvan tribal ashram school in Palghar has alleged that the family was not informed by the school administration about his son’s death and instead learnt about it from another student. The child is one of two students who have died at the residential school in the past 20 days.
The boy had been running a fever for two days. Although he attended school on Monday, his condition worsened suddenly and he began experiencing breathing difficulties. He died while being taken to a hospital.
"The school administration did not inform us of the death; we learned about the incident only after another student called us," the father alleged.
Meanwhile, 26 students displaying mild symptoms such as cough, cold or fever were kept under observation at the Maswan Primary Health Centre as a precaution. Officials said their condition remained stable.
