10-Year-Old Student Dies After Falling From School Van In Katni

A 10-year-old student, Jeet Yadav, died during treatment after falling from his school van when its door opened unexpectedly in Katni district of Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday. The accident occurred within the jurisdiction of Vijayraghavgarh police station when the Class 3 student was returning home from school.

The child was a student at a private school in the area. According to station in-charge Abhishek Choubey, the door of the van suddenly opened, causing Jeet to lose control and fall from the moving vehicle onto the road. The child was seriously injured and began bleeding profusely.

Passers-by rushed the child to the nearest government hospital, but doctors declared him dead after examination. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of school vehicles in the area. Local residents and parents alleged that private educational institutions in the area were blatantly ignoring Supreme Court guidelines and safety standards.

The Supreme Court guidelines include the mandatory yellow colour for school vehicles, clear “School Bus” lettering on the front and rear, valid vehicle fitness certification, speed-control devices and panic buttons.

It is essential that authorities take strict action against those who flout safety norms and put the lives of children at risk. The community is in shock and is demanding justice for the family of the deceased student.

The death of Jeet Yadav is a tragic reminder of the importance of safety and the need for authorities to take strict action against those who flout safety norms.
