Odisha schoolgirl dies after collapsing during classes

Bhubaneswar, Nov 9 (UNI) A Class 8 girl student of Kamala Adarsha Girls' High School at Ayatan under Rajkanika educational block in Odisha’s Kendrapara district died after collapsing during classes on Monday.
The deceased, identified as Bishwarupa Behera of Mahadeadia village, was taken to Rajkanika Community Health Centre (CHC) after she fell unconscious at school.
Doctors declared her dead on arrival.
The incident has raised concerns over the alleged delay in shifting the girl to a hospital.
The school authorities reportedly informed her parents after she collapsed, following which she was initially taken to a local medicine shop.
The family has demanded an examination of the school's CCTV footage to establish the circumstances leading to her death.
Meanwhile, an official of the School and Mass Education Department said a departmental inquiry had been initiated into the incident.
“The allegations that the student was shifted to hospital belatedly are being examined. We are also awaiting the medical report,” the official said.
