मिर्जापुर अपना शहर कस्तूरबा गांधी विद्यालय की छात्रा की संदिग्ध परिस्थितियों में मौत, परिजनों ने विद्यालय प्रशासन पर लापरवाही का आरोप लगाया 

संवाद न्यूज एजेंसी कछवां । महामलपुर गांव स्थित कस्तूरबा गांधी विद्यालय में कक्षा आठ की छात्रा की शनिवार की दोपहर संदिग्ध हालात में मौत हो गई। परिजनों ने विद्यालय प्रशासन पर लापरवाही का आरोप लगाया है। जबकि विद्यालय के लोगों को कहना हे कि तबीयत खराब होने से ही उसकी मौत हुई है। भदोही जिले के ज्ञानपुर नेवादा गांव निवासी कृष्ण कुमार पानीपत में कार्य करते हैं। उनकी एक पुत्री मुस्कान 14 कछवां के भदोही के ज्ञानपुर नेवादा गांव की रहने वाली थी छात्रा मुस्कान महामलपुर स्थित कस्तूरबा गांधी विद्यालय में कक्षा आठ में पढ़ती थी, जबकि दूसरी पुत्री महिमा इसी विद्यालय में कक्षा सात की छात्रा है। 

12 जनवरी को दोनों बहनें घर गई थीं। 18 जनवरी को विद्यालय वापस आई शनिवार की सुबह मुस्कान की तबीयत खराब हो गई। इसके बाद विद्यालय प्रशासन के लोग उसे बिलखती मुस्कान की दादी संवाद सीएचसी कछवां ले गए। वहां हालत गंभीर होने पर मंडलीय अस्पताल रेफर कर दिया गया। मंडलीय अस्पताल पहुंचने पर डाक्टर ने मृत सूचना पर पहुंचे परिजनों ने लापरवाही का आरोप लगाया। छात्रा के दादा अंगनू ने बताया कि शुक्रवार से तबीयत खराब थी। लेकिन, उन लोगों को देर से जानकारी दी गई। शनिवार की सुबह जानकारी मिलने पर पहुंचे तो वह सीएचसी से रेफर हो रही थी। उसके मुंह से झाग निकल रहा था। परिजनों ने जांच की मांग की। वार्डन ने बताया कि शुक्रवार की रात को तबीयत खराब हुई थी। शनिवार को सांस लेने में दिक्कत होने पर उसे अस्पताल ले जाया गया। पुलिस ने शव को पोस्टमार्टम के लिए भेज दिया। जिला समन्वयक केशराज सिंह ने बताया कि छात्रा तीन दिन से बीमार थी। शनिवार की सुबह उसे सीएचसी और वहां से मंडलीय अस्पताल लाया गया, जहां उसकी मौत हो गई।

 I expect that the concerned officer of the department of basic education will take into account this application concerning the untimely demise of the girl student. Everyone knows that a huge fund of the government is flowing into the Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalaya for the students belonging to the weaker and downtrodden section but such mismanagement rocked the entire society. If the facilities were not available in the institution then it was obligatory duty of the concerned staff to inform the guardians of the student but it was not done quite obvious from the allegations made by the guardians of the diseased student. Think about the gravity of situation how did they sleep in the night when the concerned student was at the stage of struggling for life. 

बर्बाद गुलिस्तां करने को बस एक ही उल्लू काफी है/ 

हर शाख पे उल्लू बैठें हैं अंजाम ऐ गुलिस्तां क्या होगा।

 ‘बर्बाद ऐ गुलशन कि खातिर बस एक ही उल्लू काफी था/ 

हर शाख पर उल्लू बैठा है अंजाम ऐ गुलशन क्या होगा।’

This is a humble request of your applicant to you, Hon’ble Sir, how can it be justified to withhold public services arbitrarily and promote anarchy, lawlessness and chaos arbitrarily by making the mockery of law of land? There is need of the hour to take harsh steps against the wrongdoer to win the confidence of citizenry and strengthen the democratic values for healthy and prosperous democracy. For this, your applicant shall ever pray for you, Hon’ble Sir.
