Student Deaths in Maharashtra Tribal Ashramshalas Prompt Safety Concerns and Official Suspensions
Two recent incidents in Maharashtra's tribal Ashramshalas have raised concerns about student safety. Three tribal girls died from snakebites at a Gadchiroli hostel, prompting demands for public disclosure on government safety measures. Separately, an eight-year-old student died after falling ill at a Visapur Ashram School, leading to the suspension of three officials amid allegations of delayed medical care and possible food contamination. Authorities are investigating both cases while activists call for improved safety and accountability in tribal residential schools.
