Teachers Rush Injured Students to Hospital
Teachers immediately responded to the emergency. They rushed the injured students to MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur. Sources report that the condition of both students remains critical. Medical staff are providing urgent care to stabilize them.
Education Officer Visits School and Hospital

Attackers Enter Campus by Assaulting Peon
Preliminary investigations reveal disturbing facts. Four outsiders, aged between 14 and 17 years, entered the school campus armed with weapons. They attacked the school peon, Santosh Mandal, who tried to prevent their entry. Mandal, aged 35, sustained injuries during the tussle.
Violent Assault on Students During Recess
After breaching the campus, the attackers targeted a Class X student. They used an iron rod to assault him and pelted stones. A classmate present at the scene also suffered injuries from the stone pelting. The recess period, usually a time for relaxation, turned into a scene of violence.
Possible Motive Linked to Village Quarrel
The exact motive behind the attack remains unclear at this time. However, Block Education Officer Debendra Behera suggested a possible reason. He stated that the attackers might have targeted the student following a quarrel in the village. Authorities are still investigating to confirm this theory.
FIR Lodging and Police Inquiry
Debendra Behera directed the school headmistress to lodge a First Information Report with the police. This step is crucial for initiating a formal investigation. Police officials confirmed they have not yet received any complaint from the school authorities. Despite this, they are already enquiring into the incident to gather evidence.
The attack raises serious concerns about school safety in the area. Parents and local residents are demanding stricter security measures. The community hopes for a swift resolution and justice for the injured students and peon.
