A deeply tragic incident has shaken Agartala after a Class-II student, seven-year-old Dipannita Pal, lost her life due to alleged negligence by Khudiram Bose English Medium School authorities. The child reportedly died from severe sunstroke, days after being forced to stand under the scorching sun during a school programme.

According to family sources, on November 9, after reaching school, students were instructed to participate in an outdoor event under direct sunlight. Despite repeated complaints to her teacher that she was feeling unwell, Dipannita was allegedly compelled to continue standing in the heat.

Witnesses say that during the event, the little girl suddenly collapsed on the ground. Upon receiving the news, her family members rushed to the school and immediately took her to the hospital. Doctors confirmed that she had suffered a serious sunstroke, and a part of her body had become paralysed due to the impact.

Dipannita remained under treatment for several days, fighting for her life. Tragically, she passed away today, leaving her family devastated and the community in shock.

The incident has sparked outrage among parents and residents, who are demanding strict action against those responsible for the gross negligence. Many are questioning the school’s lack of basic safety measures and its refusal to listen to a child in distress.

Authorities are expected to investigate the matter thoroughly, as calls for accountability grow louder following this heartbreaking and avoidable loss.
