A school bus operated by Manthan International School caught fire, prompting guardians to escalate concerns about safety protocols and previous fire-related incidents at the educational institution. The incident has triggered renewed scrutiny of safety measures across the school's operations in Sangareddy district, Telangana.
Parents have formally requested district officials to initiate a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the bus fire, as well as examine any prior fire incidents at the school. They are also seeking preservation of forensic evidence related to the incident to establish the cause and accountability.
The concerned guardians have demanded that authorities conduct a comprehensive inspection of the school's entire bus fleet to identify potential safety hazards and maintenance deficiencies. Additionally, they have called for an independent safety assessment of all fire detection and alarm systems, including those installed in classrooms and other areas of the school premises.
The demands reflect broader anxieties among parents regarding student safety and the adequacy of emergency response infrastructure in educational institutions. Officials in Sangareddy district have been urged to prioritise the investigation and implement swift corrective measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
