Bengal: Video shows school students with umbrellas in classroom as water leaks from roof; BJP hits out at govt
TMC MP Rachana Banerjee said, “It is very sad that students are sitting in their classroom with umbrellas. In my constituency, many such schools are there because the previous MP did nothing"
The Panchpara primary school of Pandua, which has been around since 1972, has witnessed three of its four classrooms collapse, with the fourth in a dilapidated condition A POLITICAL tussle has broken out over a video that surfaced on social media purportedly showing school students sitting in a classroom with umbrellas as water is leaking from the roof. The BJP has targeted the ruling TMC government in the state over the issue.
The Panchpara primary school of Pandua, which has been around since 1972, has witnessed three of its four classrooms collapse, with the fourth in a dilapidated condition.
Two of the classrooms have tin shade at the roof but these are not in usable condition now and water is leaking from the roof, sources said.
BJP leader Amit Malviya wrote about the issue on X recently, “What a shame! This is the tragic reality of Mamata Banerjee’s “education model” in West Bengal. In Hooghly district, 68 young students aged 5 to 10 are being forced to sit in classrooms holding umbrellas — because rainwater leaks through the broken roof of their school.”
