Kolkata School Forms Inquiry After Student Bitten by Snake on Campus
A Class III student at The Heritage School in Kolkata was bitten by a non-venomous snake inside the school premises. The child received initial medical attention at the school and was later treated at a private hospital, from which she has been discharged and is in good health. The school has formed a special inquiry committee and engaged both the West Bengal Wild Animal Rescue and a private agency to inspect the campus and recommend safety measures. The incident has raised parental concerns about campus safety, and the school was temporarily closed for inspections.
