Students of Bahanaga High School in Odisha are scared to return to their classes in the building that was turned into a temporary morgue after the triple train crash, which killed 288 passengers.
Soon after the crash on June 2, shrouded bodies were carted to this 65-year-old school building. Such is the fear that the school management committee has pleaded with the state government to demolish the building as it is old. “Younger students are scared,” admitted Headmistress Pramila Swain, adding that the school planned to “conduct spiritual programmes and follow some rituals to help them overcome their fears.”
