Several students of a government school in Gumla district were injured on Thursday after a swarm of bees attacked them. As panic spread, students ran and ducked for cover. In the chaos that followed, three students were stung and several others sustained minor injuries.
Incident Details
The incident took place at Government Middle School in Kesipara under Sadar police station limits. The injured students were admitted to private clinics and Gumla Sadar Hospital but were released later after receiving treatment.
School Response
School principal Manaj Gupta stated that the school has about 150 students. The attack caused widespread panic among the children, but fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
