Digital Desk: In a tragic incident, a minor girl lost her life after consuming poisoned 'chowmein' along with two others on December 8 in Assam’s Baksa.
The girls, initially accused of inscribing inappropriate content on a tuition centre's blackboard, later admitted to the act.
Following the revelation, the trio allegedly laced their 'chowmein' with poison, leading to serious illness and subsequent admission to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital.
Notably, one girl succumbed to poisoning on December 14, and another lost her life on Monday. The school authorities expressed shock, denying any imposition of mental pressure on the students.
This tragic incident underscores the need for vigilance regarding students' mental health and behaviour. Educational institutions must foster environments where students feel supported and safe.
As the community mourns the loss of young lives, there is a collective responsibility to address issues related to mental health, peer pressure, and appropriate channels for conflict resolution. This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the importance of open communication and mental health awareness in our educational institutions.
