Viral video highlights risky school route in India
Millions of children around the world go to school every day but for some simply reaching the classroom can be a dangerous journey. In India a viral video has raised concerns after showing schoolchildren taking a highly risky route to get to school in Madhya Pradesh’s Vidisha district. The students reportedly have to jump across a river embankment to reach their school while strong water flows below. The dangerous journey has shocked people on social media and raised serious questions about the safety of the children. Parents and local residents say there is no safe route for the children to reach school forcing them to take the dangerous path every day. The situation becomes even more risky during the rainy season when the water level and flow increase. Locals have urged the authorities to inspect the area immediately and provide a safe and permanent route for the students instead of waiting for a tragic accident to happen.
