Tribal School Snake Bites: Girl Fights For Life
29 Aug
Summary
- A 14-year-old girl fights for life after a snakebite.
- Six tribal students were bitten by a krait at night.
- The incident highlights poor conditions in tribal schools.
More than two weeks after a snakebite at a tribal residential school in Gadchiroli, 14-year-old Samruddhi remains in critical condition at the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in Nagpur. Her plight has become a focal point for protests concerning the inadequate conditions within tribal schools and has elicited government assurances of change.
The incident occurred on the night of August 10th, when six tribal schoolgirls at Japtalai Ashram School in Gadchiroli were bitten by a common krait. The school lacked beds, forcing the students to sleep on the floor. Tragically, three of the girls succumbed to the venom, while two others survived the ordeal.
