It is a real tragedy to our whole village.”

Earlier After running an initial investigation at the private school in Kallakurichi’s Kaniyamoor, where a minor girl allegedly killed herself, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) have reported that the school’s hostel was functioning illegally.
NCPCR Commissioner Saraswati briefed the scribes following the investigation.
She said the school authorities have housed 24 girl students in the hostel without approval.
“I have raised the issue to the district Collector and the girl’s safety would have been ensured had the school not flouted the legalities,” she added.
A Class 12 student’s suspicious death on July 13 and violence that followed on July 17 had set off a Statewide uproar.
While parents of the girl, educationists and activists alleged failure of the school system for not ensuring safety of the children.
Taking the accusation further, some even allege that the school authorities’s ‘coerced’ the student to take the extreme step.
