Monsoon Peril: Rajol Children’s Risky School Trek
Rajol village, Kangra, faces a heartbreaking reality. Its children brave treacherous journeys to high school daily, risking life and limb.
The lack of a local high school forces these students to navigate flooded rivulets and dense forest paths. This perilous commute is worsened by the recently implemented monsoon school schedule.
The new timings, while intended to aid students, have instead increased the dangers significantly, especially during the unpredictable monsoon season.
Villagers are pleading with the government for immediate intervention. Their demand is simple: a high school in Rajol to secure the future of their children.
This isn’t merely an inconvenience; it’s a matter of life and death. The government’s response will determine whether these children continue to risk their lives for an education, or whether they are afforded the basic right to safe schooling.
