Katkamsandi (Hazaribagh). A theft has been reported at the Government Primary School, Baliyad, located in the Gadokhar Panchayat of the block area. Unknown thieves broke into the school kitchen and stole several items, including midday meal rations, a gas cylinder, and a biometric machine. This theft has raised questions about school security. According to reports, the thieves entered the school premises at night and broke the kitchen lock and door. They then fled with rice, a gas cylinder, and other items stored for the children under the Midday Meal Scheme. They also stole the biometric machine used to record attendance. The incident came to light when teachers and staff arrived after school reopened. They found the kitchen door broken and items scattered inside. Upon investigation, they discovered that the thieves had taken several essential items from the school. The matter was subsequently reported to the relevant authorities and police. The most surprising thing is that before or after committing the theft, the thieves had a drinking party on the school premises. Liquor bottles and egg-making and food remains were found at the scene. This suggests that the thieves spent considerable time inside and caused widespread disturbance. Local residents and teachers are outraged by this incident on the school campus. They say that better security arrangements should be made for the food grains and essential equipment stored for children in government schools. The theft of mid-day meal rations could also impact the children’s food supply. Villagers have demanded that the administration investigate the theft promptly and arrest the accused. They also demand strengthened security in schools to prevent such incidents in the future. Villagers say that schools are not just places of learning but also important centers for children’s futures, and therefore, security should not be neglected. Police have begun investigating the matter. Information is also being gathered in the surrounding areas, and potential leads are being sought to identify the thieves. Officials say that action will be taken against the culprits after investigation. This theft at the Government Primary School in Baliyad has once again raised questions about the security arrangements at government institutions in rural areas. It remains to be seen how quickly the police will take action in this case and uncover the theft.
