Chennai: In connection with the incident where students in two schools suffered food poisoning, Tamil Nadu BJP State President Annamalai strongly criticized the Tamil Nadu government. In the Siruvanoor region near Tiruvallur, 50 students studying in a primary school under the unified administration of the municipality are affected. At this point, the children who came to the school like usual had their meals in the old building of the school.
At that time, unexpectedly, a century-old government tree near the school collapsed. As a result, some students were injured by falling branches. The students who were having lunch at that moment, including more than 10 seniors, were among the injured. Those injured were allowed to receive treatment at the medical center.

In the town of Siruvanoor, Thiruvallur district, a tragic incident unfolded at a primary school where the walls of the school building collapsed, resulting in five children sustaining head injuries and being admitted to a medical facility for treatment. Regrettably, I learned of this distressing news.
Previously, near Melur in the Madurai district, an unfortunate incident occurred where 17 students lost their lives as a tree fell on them during a study session outdoors. My heartfelt condolences go out to all those affected, and I fervently pray for a swift recovery for the injured children.
It is essential for authorities to ensure the safety of school buildings and premises, especially those situated in areas prone to hazards. Vigilant planning and regular inspections are imperative to prevent such tragic incidents in the future. The government must take immediate action to assess and reinforce safety measures in schools across the state.
I express my deepest sympathy to the families affected by these incidents and call upon the government to prioritize the safety of students in all educational institutions.
