A bolt from the blue

Two IIM students have been swept away in the choral river. Their parents are grieving and in deep shock. After this news people are saying that it’s IIM’s responsibility to provide security when students go out. I think both students were matured enough and people were also warned them not to swim in the river. But they ignored and finally fished out.

I think we can’t expect security from an institution in such area. It’s a government’s responsibility to provide security and prevent such accidents. Actually it is not first incident in the history of Choral River. Many students drown every year in the river and this is continuously happening for the last three or four years, but government is still sleeping. Government should take steps and provide security in such desolated areas.

There is no doubt that it is favorite joint for youngsters to have fun with friends on weekends and it allures everybody. So we can’t stop people to go there. It would be good if government provide security and some good swimmer also to prevent such accidents.
