A government primary school in Chiniot has come under criticism after students allegedly suffered in extreme heat when classroom fans were reportedly turned off to reduce electricity expenses.
A disturbing incident has surfaced from a government primary school in Chiniot, where several students allegedly became weak and fainted due to intense heat after classroom fans were reportedly switched off on the instructions of a local teacher.
According to students, the teacher arrived at school in the morning and informed them that the electricity bill had become too high, therefore fans would not be operated during school hours. The decision reportedly left classrooms unbearably hot as temperatures continued to rise across the region.
Children claimed they were forced to sit in extreme heat without proper ventilation, causing some students to feel dizzy while others allegedly lost consciousness. The incident has triggered concern among parents and residents, who questioned how young children could be made to study in such harsh weather conditions.
Locals have demanded immediate action from the education authorities, urging officials to investigate the matter and ensure basic facilities are available in government schools. The incident has also reignited debate over poor infrastructure and resource shortages in public educational institutions across rural areas.
