A nine‑year‑old student died after falling inside a Mayur Vihar Phase‑2 school classroom, prompting her family to accuse the administration of negligence and demand why they were taken 7 km to the hospital.
A nine‑year‑old girl suffered a fatal fall inside a classroom at a school located in Mayur Vihar Phase‑2, East Delhi, on Wednesday. The incident occurred during regular school hours and the child was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital about seven kilometres away.
The child's parents and relatives have publicly blamed the school administration for failing to administer immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the scene. They contend that prompt CPR could have saved the child's life and are questioning why the child was transported such a distance instead of receiving emergency care on site.
School officials have not yet released a detailed statement, but local authorities have been notified and a preliminary investigation into possible negligence is underway. The incident has sparked a broader debate about emergency response protocols in Delhi schools and the need for staff training in first‑aid measures.
Parents of other students have demanded a review of safety procedures, while education department officials say they will inspect the school and ensure compliance with mandatory health‑and‑safety guidelines.
The case remains under investigation, and the family is seeking answers from both the school and the municipal health authorities.
