Three schoolgirls were severely injured when a high‑tension electric line sparked on a school roof in Muzaffarpur, prompting parents and villagers to block nearby roads demanding compensation and action.
Earlier this week, a high‑tension electric wire arced on the roof of a school in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, causing severe burns to three female students who were present at the site. The incident left the girls hospitalized with serious injuries and raised immediate concerns about safety standards at the institution.
Following the accident, a large group of parents and local residents gathered outside the school premises, blocking the main road to draw attention to the tragedy. The protest continued for several hours, with demonstrators holding placards and chanting slogans demanding swift medical assistance for the victims.
The aggrieved families have called for full compensation for the injured girls, a thorough investigation into the cause of the electrical fault, and disciplinary action against the school management for alleged negligence. Local authorities have been urged to intervene and ensure that similar incidents do not recur.
