After several students fainted in schools at different places in Bihar, former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav said on Wednesday that the infrastructure of schools in Bihar is not food and there is nothing in the hands of the CM.
“There is no government and democracy in Bihar, but only the bureaucracy. The CM is so weak that no one listens to him even regarding the timings of school. The temperature is at 47 degrees, the loo is blowing and at least the little children should have some relaxation. The infrastructure of schools in Bihar is not good. But, there is nothing in the CM’s hands,” Tejashwi said.
More than 50 students fainted in Bihar’s Sheikhpura on Wednesday. They were admitted to the hospital and their treatment is underway.
Suresh Prasad, Head Master, Middle School, Mankaul said, “The 6-7 students fainted when the assembly prayers were going on, due to extreme heat. We tried to provide first aid. Students are facing a lot of difficulties.”
Dr Rajnikanth Kumar, Sadar Hospital in Sheikhpura said, “Due to rising temperature, the students are facing difficulties. The students admitted here are stable now.”
Dr Satyendra said that students should be hydrated always. They should drink as much water as possible. It is recommended to not come out in the heat. Water bottles should be carried by all the students.
On May 28, the day temperatures in Bihar’s several places crossed 44 degrees. According to the Met department, severe heat is likely to continue in several parts of Bihar.
