Taken by one of the big four: Snakebite at Maharashtra tribal school

Three tribal girls died from a common krait snakebite at a residential Ashram School in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, due to severe deficiencies in school infrastructure, lack of accessible medical facilities, and poor road connectivity. The incident highlights systemic negligence in the oversight of tribal residential schools and the broader challenges faced by remote tribal communities in accessing basic services like education and healthcare. The National Human Rights Commission has issued a notice, and the state government has initiated action against the school management.
