Thiruvananthapuram: In response to the electrocution death of 8th-grade student Mithun, the Kerala government has dismissed the school management, previously under CPM control, and taken over its administration.
Education Minister V. Sivankutty said the manager’s explanation was unsatisfactory, and the management failed in ensuring student safety.
The Kollam District Education Officer has been given temporary charge. The government also announced financial aid and housing support for Mithun’s family.
Both KSEB and KSTA will each provide ₹10 lakh as compensation.
