Sirsa Playschool Tragedy: HC Raps Police Inertia, Cover-up Allegations Mount
A four-year-old child tragically lost their life at an unregistered playschool in Sirsa on July 11, 2025. The incident has sparked outrage, with allegations of a cover-up swirling around the local authorities.
Despite a High Court directive, the police are yet to file a First Information Report (FIR) against the school operators. This inaction has fuelled public anger and raised serious questions about accountability.
A Child Welfare Committee (CWC) report paints a grim picture, highlighting gross negligence on the part of both the playschool and the relevant government departments. Unsafe conditions prevalent within the facility were explicitly detailed in the report.
The report further revealed that the school operator lacked the necessary qualifications to run an educational institution. The child’s family has levelled serious accusations of a deliberate cover-up, adding to the growing pressure on the authorities.
This tragic incident underscores the urgent need for stricter regulations and oversight of unregistered playschools across Haryana. The lack of accountability in this case sends a chilling message, potentially endangering countless other young children. The ongoing police inaction demands immediate attention from the state government to ensure justice for the deceased child and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
