The city of Ahmedabad is reeling after the shocking murder of a Class 10 Student Murder from Seventh Day Adventist School in Maninagar. The tragic incident has created an atmosphere of fear and anxiety among both students and parents, raising serious concerns about safety inside school campuses.
DEO Steps In With Intensive Inquiry
In the wake of the incident, the district education officer (DEO) has launched a full scale inquiry. On Friday, a team from the DEO office held crucial meetings with the school management and also began recording statements from parents. These statements could play a vital role in determining strict corrective measures in the coming days.
Inspectors Review Safety Protocols
Education inspectors have already started visiting schools across the city to assess existing safety systems. They inspected students’ bags, spoke with teachers, and instructed schools to foster an atmosphere of trust where students feel safe to express their concerns. Officials stressed that schools must strengthen their internal safety mechanisms to ensure such tragedies are never repeated.
Disruptions in Learning and Temporary Alternatives
The situation has deeply disrupted the learning environment at the affected school. With many teachers unwilling to return to classrooms due to the prevailing tension, online classes were suggested as a temporary measure. However, several logistical challenges have delayed the immediate start of virtual lessons, leaving students caught in uncertainty.
Parents Demand Accountability
Meanwhile, a group of parents is preparing to approach the DEO office on Monday with a joint representation. They are demanding accountability, transparency, and strong assurances from the authorities to safeguard their children. Education officials have also confirmed that another meeting will be held with the school management soon to finalize concrete corrective measures.
Investigation Expected to Intensify
Sources in the education department suggest that as more parents come forward with complaints, deeper irregularities within the school system may be uncovered. The probe is expected to intensify in the coming days, as both parents and officials push for answers and meaningful action.
