NGO moves Telangana SHRC on deaths of two school girls

: An NGO working for children's rights today said it has approached the Telangana State Human Rights Commission, seeking directions to hold education and GHMC officials responsible for the death of two girls at a school at Kukatpally here.

Two girl students, aged around 10 years, died and four others were injured yesterday when a portion of a roof of a stage collapsed at a private school.

Balala Hakkula Sangham, in a release, said it has approached the Commission to direct the Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Commission and Commissioner, School Education, Telangana, to book criminal cases on the officials as their negligence caused the deaths of the children and left several others injured after a structure at the school collapsed.

The safety and security of the children has become questionable in all schools in Telangana and every day is a testing time for parents to know whether their children return home safely or not, it said.

the NGO demanded that the education department re assure parents of the safety of the children.

The two girl students, aged around ten years, died and four others were injured yesterday when a portion of a roof of a stage collapsed at the private school in Kukatpally area.

The seven students were practising karate when the roof came crashing down, police had said.
