Patna,(BiharTimes): The school campus of Dharmasati-Gandaman village under Masrakh block of Saran district has now literally been converted into graveyard.
While three of the 23 school-children after taking meal on July 16 were buried within the premises of the school, 15 others were buried just outside.
Local villagers now want the school campus, where children one’s used to play, to be converted into a graveyard. In fact it was temporarily running in a community centre as it does not have its own building.
“Nobody in the village now wants school to run here. It will haunt all of us. The graves here would remind us of the tragedy,” one of the villagers commented.
The villagers are not sure whether they should blame the headmistress or cooks for the tragedy or directly the government. After all one the cook, a widow, is battling for her life while the other lost one son and one daughter in the tragedy.
However, the villagers have one regret. Neither the chief minister nor his ministerial colleague or top official got time to pay a visit to the village or hospital. Instead education minister P K Shahi started talking about conspiracy to defame the state government, they said.
