‘God, Should've Taken Me': Mother's Anguish After Losing Both Kids In Rajasthan School Collapse
Last Updated: A school collapse in Jhalawar, Rajasthan killed seven children, including siblings Meena and Kanha. Families received the bodies Saturday. Five staff were suspended. The grief-stricken mother of the two children who died in the school building collapse in Rajasthan's Jhalawar wished that God had taken her life instead of her kids. In just a day, the world of many families was turned upside down after seven children lost their lives in the Jhalawar school building collapse on Friday. For this mother, the tragedy has been especially devastating, having lost both her son and daughter in the incident, leaving her feeling like she's 'lost everything." The youngest of those who died was only six years old. 'I've lost everything. I had only two children, a boy and a girl, and both are gone. My home is empty. There's no one left to play in the courtyard. I wish God had taken me instead and spared my children," news agency PTI quoted her as saying. The deceased children were identified as 12-year-olds Payal, Priyanka, Kundan and Kartik, along with eight-year-old Harish. The brother and sister duo were 12-year-old Meena and her brother, six-year-old Kanha, who was the youngest kid to be killed in the tragedy. On Saturday morning, the bodies of the seven children were handed to their families outside SRG Hospital and Medical College in Jhalawar, where anguished wails from grieving mothers filled the air, evoking deep sorrow in all who witnessed the scene. Some parents clung desperately to their children's lifeless bodies, while others sat in stunned silence, struggling to process the loss. The children were cremated soon after, with five bodies being laid to rest together and two receiving individual funeral pyres. The tragic school building collapse in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district, which killed seven children and injured another 28, has raised serious questions about the condition of rural school infrastructure in the state and the systemic neglect that turned a place of learning into a site of mourning. A grieving mother who lost her child in the tragedy questioned the responsibility of the teachers who were present at the school when the incident occurred. 'The teachers went outside, leaving the children behind. What were they doing outside?" she charged. Five school staff members were suspended, and a high-level investigation was launched into the incident. Rajasthan's School Education Minister, Madan Dilawar, announced a Rs 10 lakh compensation for the families of the children who lost their lives. Jhalawar District Collector Ajay Singh consoled the grieving families on Saturday. Later, talking to reporters, he said appropriate action would be taken against those guilty. 'Five school staffers have been suspended, and a probe committee has been constituted. If needed, an FIR will be registered. If suspension has to turn to expulsion, that will be done," Hindustan Times quoted Singh as saying. The collector stated that clear guidelines are in place for repairing the school building, and the district administration is taking steps to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. 'District education officials have been directed not to let students enter schools if the condition of the building is not good," Singh said, adding that if they had received any complaint, they would have repaired the building, and this tragedy might have been prevented 'If we had received any complaint, we would have got the building repaired and the incident could have been averted," he said. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
