A student sustained a head injury during a school session in Nagaon, Assam, and parents allege that emergency medical help was delayed.
A student at a primary school in Nagaon, Assam, suffered a head injury during a routine class session on Tuesday. The injury reportedly occurred when the child fell from a height while playing in the school courtyard.
Parents of the injured student have filed a complaint with local authorities, alleging that the school’s emergency response was slow and that medical assistance was not provided promptly. They claim the child was left unattended for several minutes before a doctor was called.
The school administration has stated that an ambulance was dispatched within ten minutes of the incident and that the student was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officials say the delay was due to traffic congestion in the area.
