Patiala;- A student died and a girl's arm was amputated at Carmel Convent School in Chandigarh in 2022 due to a tree falling. The school management and the Chandigarh Administration had announced an assistance of Rs 20 lakh to the family of the deceased girl and Rs 10 lakh to the girl whose arm was amputated.
But the parents of the children appealed to the Punjab Haryana High Court that their children suffered due to the school's mistake. Now the Punjab Haryana High Court has ordered the school management and administration to pay Rs 1 crore to the family of the deceased child and Rs 50 lakh to the other child. The High Court judge said that the negligence of the school management and administration is due to the safety, protection and help of the children, because the accident took place at the school.
Similarly, on 23 December 1995, due to a sudden fire at the DAV School in Dabwali during the annual function, 426 students, teachers and citizens died due to smoke inhalation, which was considered the negligence of the school, and the court ordered a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the family of each deceased.
Similarly, due to a fire in the nursery at Rajindra Hospital in Patiala, senior doctors and management were held responsible for the death of five children, and the doctors and nurses had to go to jail and lose their jobs and pensions as per the rules and laws. Because the judges said that the responsibility of doctors is not only to treat but also to protect and help the patients.
In 2012, the Supreme Court and the Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered the formation of student safety committees in schools under the Safe School Vehicle Policy for the safety, protection and assistance of students, and the committee members should meet every month, inspect the school and record the action in the register. Under this policy, students, teachers and shopkeepers in the area should be trained twice a year by subject experts on first aid, fire safety, traffic rules and laws and mock drills should be conducted once a year.
Under the Right to Education Act 2009, orders have also been given to the management and principals to make appropriate arrangements for the safety, protection, assistance, first aid and fire safety of students in schools.
Even today, no training exercises are conducted in schools for the safety, protection and assistance of students and teachers. 90% of government schools do not have fire extinguishers, first aid boxes, nor are trainings conducted for the safety and help of students and teachers.
Private and recognized schools have fire extinguishers, but there is no provision to provide first aid to students during emergencies. Students, teachers, nearby people, shopkeepers, committee members are not trained or practiced on the proper use of cylinders and first aid boxes. Whereas the Supreme Court and governments have ordered to make preparations and make suitable arrangements on the basis of priority for the safety of students.
According to the Safe School Vehicle Policy and the Right to Education Act, affidavits should be taken from the heads of schools about the arrangements and trainings made for the safety and help of students and teachers. The officials of the education department should also take information about the work done for the safety and help of children during the meetings of the heads of schools from time to time.
Because they are given jobs only for the safety of children.
Whereas in any accident, the district administration, education department, fire brigade, ambulances and police personnel reach the places of incidents after receiving information, after 20/30 minutes and in villages after 50/60 minutes, whereas in fires, gases, electricity, petroleum incidents, buildings, trees, vehicles falling, heart attacks, cardiac arrest, head, brain, stomach and chest internal injuries, poisoning, fainting, shock, sugar blood pressure drop, excessive bleeding, the victims die within a few minutes. In such situations, only trained teachers, students and nearby people or shopkeepers have reached for immediate help.
In this regard, the district administration, education department, school principals, teachers and school management committee members have become responsible that the safety, rescue and help of children should be done on a priority basis as per the humanitarian and rules and laws.
Because in the courts, decisions are made according to the ages, salaries, rules and laws of those who died or were injured. Cases are also filed against school principals by parents. Due to which many institutions have also been closed.

Amritsar, October 2 - Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami welcomed the Indian government's decision to allow a group of Sikh pilgrims to visit Sri Nankana Sahib and other Gurudwaras in Pakistan on the occasion of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Prakash Utsav. He said that this decision of the government came to light through media reports, which the Shiromani Committee appreciates.
The Shiromani Committee President said that the Prakash Utsav of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib is of utmost importance not only for the Sikh community but for all humanity. On this occasion, the Sikh community's desire to visit Sri Nankana Sahib and pay their respects on the occasion of Guru Sahib's Prakash Utsav is emotional.
He said that the Sangat is disappointed by the recent decision to ban the Sikh group, following which the Shiromani Committee has appealed to the government to reconsider its decision.
A letter was written to the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, four days ago on September 29, 2025, in this regard, and it is gratifying that the government has considered it.
Advocate Dhami stated that the decision taken by the Government of India respects the sentiments of the Sikh community, for which, on behalf of the Shiromani Committee, we thank the Prime Minister and Home Minister of the country.
Advocate Dhami stated that every year the Sikh community submits their passports for this pilgrimage with great anticipation, but when news of the group's failure to go is received, the religious sentiments of the community are hurt. He stated that this pilgrimage symbolizes mutual solidarity and the strength of ties, the continuation of which is extremely important. The Shiromani Committee President also appealed to the government to open the corridor to Gurdwara Shri Kartarpur Sahib.

Kharar: On Vijayadashami, the festival of victory of Dharma over Adharma, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) celebrated its 100th foundation day. On this day in 1925, Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar founded the RSS in Nagpur with a group of children, and today, the organization has become the world's largest non-governmental organization.
Celebrations were held in various parts of the country to mark this occasion. During the ceremony held at Gilco Gate, Chandigarh Road, Kharar, the chairman of the ceremony, the RSS official, the chief guest, Colonel Sukhwinder Pal Singh, founder of Indus Public School, Kharar, and the keynote speaker, Jagram Ji, the organization minister of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, performed the ritualistic worship of weapons. Prominent people from the area, brothers and sisters, and fellow volunteers were present at the ceremony.
Addressing the ceremony, the keynote speaker, Mr. Jagram, stated that India's overall development can only be achieved through self-awareness, environmental protection, civic duty, harmony, and an ideal family system. He said that for the development and progress of any nation, it is essential for its citizens to possess strong character and patriotic qualities. Sometimes, without character, even education and knowledge can prove fatal. He stated that the Sangh is working towards the nation's ultimate glory by adopting a methodology for nation-building through character-building.
Remembering the upcoming 350th martyrdom day of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, Sangh official Jagram said that Guruji sacrificed his life to give the message of protecting human rights and human values. He conveyed that every religion in the world is respectable and no one has the right to oppress others on the basis of religion or force anyone to change their religion. He also conveyed that even if one has to sacrifice one's life to protect one's religion, one should not back down.
Referring to the five transformations advocated by the Sangh, he said that we can uplift our country by following five points: self-awareness, environmental protection, civic duty, harmony, and an ideal family system. The Sangh believes that social harmony is an essential prerequisite for a strong, cultured, and progressive nation in every field. No nation divided on the basis of caste, religion, lineage, and gender can achieve the standards of development at the level of national unity, integrity, and internal security.
The Sangh considers the family to be the foundation of Indian culture, values, ideals, and traditions. Traditional family values ??are eroding due to the influence of Western culture and the pressures of modern lifestyles. Through family enlightenment, we can make our families aware of and advance Indian culture, traditions, and values. He stated that environmental protection is a major global challenge in the contemporary landscape, and India is also facing environmental problems.
Indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources and pollution have caused significant environmental damage, negatively impacting human life and future. Therefore, an environmentally friendly lifestyle is essential for our nation's development. The Sangh official stated that economic self-reliance is essential for national development. Consumerist culture and excessive dependence on imports are extremely detrimental to the Indian economy and culture.
Encouraging Indians to adopt and upgrade local businesses using Indian products and becoming self-reliant is an integral part of a self-reliant lifestyle. It is essential to instigate campaigns promoting the use of indigenous products and to strive to revive traditional skills and industries.
Speaking about civic duties, he said that for a knowledgeable and progressive democratic nation, it is essential for its citizens to be aware and responsible of their fundamental duties. Only by fulfilling these duties can a healthy and civil society be built.
Responsibility towards civic duty clearly implies that citizens should be aware of their duties and fulfill them honestly. These civic duties include voting, paying taxes, protecting public property, obeying the law, and actively participating in social work. He said that the Sangh is reaching out to society with programs based on these five changes.
On this occasion, the chief guest of the ceremony, Colonel Sukhwinder Pal Singh, said that due to its good deeds and positive work methodology, the Sangh has become synonymous with patriotism, mutual brotherhood, and service in its 100 years of existence. He said that whenever the country faces a crisis, Sangh volunteers step forward to fulfill their national responsibilities. On this occasion, Mohali District Karyavah Gurudev, Kharar City Sangh Chalak Vijay Verma ji, and approximately 500 volunteers participated in the program.
