The students had fled into the bushes after staging a strike in the school on Wednesday. Amid the protest, the students allegedly brought down a section of the brick-wall fence before fleeing. The majority of the students had marks on them to remind them of the night they spent out in the unforgiving cold. A number of them had sustained injuries from the stampede, while others were bruised by the thickets they ran into.
Parents of these students brought back their daughters to school in demand of answers on Thursday. However, the headteacher declined to meet them. The students went on strike due to a prolonged water shortage and an issue with the meals provided by the school. He further stated that there were more underlying issues yet to be established.
Education officers, accompanied by the police, made their way to the institution and held an emergency meeting with the school's administration. A decision was reached to close the school.
