A chilling incident has come to light from Madhya Pradesh’s Baansal after a 5-year-old girl fell into a utensil full of hot dal which was being served as a mid-day meal in a school. The incident took place at a primary school on Monday when the students were being served a mid-day meal.

Tejeshwari Tandiya, a class 1 student, was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital in Bhanupratappur where the doctors referred her to the district hospital after giving her initial treatment. She has sustained 30 percent burns on her body, said officials.

According to the reports, Tandiya and other children were standing in a queue to receive the food when they began pushing and shoving each other to get to the front. Amid the rush, Tandiya, who was standing close to the utensil filled with hot dal, was pushed into it.

The teachers immediately took her out of the utensil and rushed her to the hospital.

Pratik Jain, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Bhanupratappur said a team has been constituted to investigate the gross negligence by school officials. He said they are taking appropriate action against the concerned teachers and a show-cause notice has been issued to them. He further said that they are trying to ensure that such an incident does not happen again.

However, as per the protocols, students are supposed to be seated while receiving the mid-day meals. The food has to be served to them individually.

Earlier in 2020, the three-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries after she fell into a container with freshly-cooked food at Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district school. Her father claimed cooks didn’t notice her in the container because they had earphones on.
