Who is Responsible?

A few days back on Monday 21st December 2009, Sant Meera School in Angol (Belgaum) received a call at 2.25pm about a bomb being kept in the school and immediately the school was made empty and the dog squad searched for any bombs or explosives. But nothing of that sort was recovered. My niece is studying in 1st standard in the same school.

Though the school was emptied immediately and students were sent back to their homes, the school authorities didn't inform it to the parents. My niece goes to school daily by auto rickshaw. Her school time ends at 4.00 pm. Since this incident happened at 2.25pm her regular auto driver was not present in school at the moment, hence she started walking home alone. While coming back, once she forgot the way to home and after roaming for some time she found a familiar landmark and fortunately came home safely..

Surprisingly, school authorities let only 1st standard students to  go where as many other students were in school and they went home at regular time. This is an example of poor administration in Sant Meera School. We are fortunate that my niece came home on her own. If something bad would have happened, who is going to take responsibility of the incidence. At least school autorities should have informed the parents to come and pickup their children.
