CHILDREN FAINT IN SCHOOLS.... With the schools re-opening on Monday despite the scorching heat in Kashmir, children faced tough time to the with the reports stating that many fainting in various schools of the mountainous region. Reports said as the state authorities Monday opened the schools in Valley, the scorching heat took toll on small children as no arrangements of cooling were made by the authorities. Reports also informed that several students fainted due to the heat conditions prevailing in the valley and the school authorities remained perturbed due to the crises. Parents across valley while slamming the state authorities over undermining the prevailing heat conditions stated that the step taken by the school education department vindicates that little care being shown by the helmsmen about the children. “This is bizarre and outrageous that the situation has turned this much turbulent and the authorities didn’t pay any heed to end the crises. Ether the government should have the proper arrangement in the schools and if they don’t have the same, the heath of kids must be taken into consideration before making any announcement public,” said Mohammad Shafi Lone, a Srinagar resident. Several other parents maintained that if any misshapen happens with their wards, the responsibility will go to the state government as they didn’t think about the heat conditions and compelled the students to beat the scorching heat. “The decisions the state authorities take is anarchic. They don’t see the conditions on ground. They sit in the air conditioned offices and take decision of opening of the schools, caring little what it means to remain in the intense heat conditions,” said Mukhtar Ahmad, parents who kid studies in 1st standard at a private institution. However, the state authorities when contacted maintained that the syllabus of the kids is yet incomplete and if the vacations continue it would have direct effect upon the academic session. But parents contest the claim of school education department, stating that the health of their children is must important and hence comes first. “The cannot taken our children for a ride. They have to take appropriate step,” parents said.
