Coach, 4 others held

A day after M. Ranjan, a Std.4 student of PSBB School in K.K. Nagar drowned in theschool’s swimming pool, theMadras High Court on Aug. 17asked for details of fees col-lected by the school for swim-ming and other extra-curricu-lar activities.

Hearing two PILs seekingcomprehensive review ofsafety measures in schools, theFirst Bench comprising ChiefJustice M. Y. Eqbal and Jus-tice T. S. Sivagnanam orallyobserved that parents wereequally responsible for suchincidents. Noting that parentswere negligent and irrespon-sible, Chief Justice Eqbalfaulted parents who rushed toschools without verifying theclaims made in advertise-ments.

High Court slams parents, seeks fee detailsIn the meantime, the peti-

tioner (advocate E. KarthikRaja) was directed to ‘produceall materials such as prospec-tus, admission procedure, feestructure and other docu-ments’ of the school.

Directing senior counselVijay Narayan, who appearedfor the petitioner, to producedetails of the fees charged bythe school for swimming andother extra-curricular activi-ties, the judges asked Govern-ment Pleader S. Venkatesh toinform the court as to whetherthe Fire Service Departmenthad laid down norms for run-ning the swimming pool in theschool.

Earlier, senior advocateVijay Narayan said that theschool had swimming classesthroughout the day and that

every student in the school wasmade to subscribe for swim-ming compulsorily though thepool could accommodate onlya maximum of 15 students ata time. Counsel said, “If theyput 30 boys into the pool underthe supervision of one instruc-tor, such incidents are boundto happen.”

He said that instead of in-voking non-bailable offencesagainst the school authoritiesand others responsible for thenegligence, the police invokedonly Section 304A of IPC, whichis a bailable offence.

Advocate R. Y. George Will-iams, representing a parent,said that schools were entrust-ing pool maintenance and ve-hicle maintenance to third par-ties on a contract basis. Reportcourtesy The Times of India.

Father does not blame schooladministration

The family of M. Ranjan, Std.4 student of PSBB School, K.K. Nagar, who drowned in theschool’s swimming pool on Aug.16, performed the boy’s lastrites on Aug. 17 morning be-fore he was cremated in Porur.

Ranjan’s family and rela-tives took the body of Ranjan,son of R. N. R. Manohar (FilmDirector) to the crematoriumin a procession that began fromthe boy’s house in Alwarthiru-nagar at 7.30 a.m. Manohar,who hails from Sholinghur inVellore district, his wife andtheir daughter Snehitha, a Std.Rajasekaran

assistant rushed to the boy’said and pulled him out,” said R.Sivakumar (Deputy Commis-sioner of Police, T. Nagar).

Ranjan was rushed to a pri-vate clinic on R. K. ShanmugamSalai where doctors referredhim to Vijaya Hospital sayinghis condition was serious, theofficer said.

Ranjan was pronounced‘brought dead’ by doctors inVijaya Hospital. The body was shifted to the

Government Royapettah Hos-pital for post-mortem.

Indira Vaidyanathan(School Principal) said: “Whenhe came to school in the morn-ing he was normal. After heswam on the three-foot side, hestarted coughing, and was im-mediately taken to K.M. Nurs-ing Home and then to VijayaHospital. From the school’s

side we had taken all precau-tions, and the class teacher,lifeguard and coach were allpresent near the pool.”

Sheela Rajendra (DeputyDean & Director, and Corre-spondent) said: “We cannotmake any comment now. All Ican say is that we are shat-tered and the police are inves-tigating the case.” Report cour-tesy The Hindu

The drowning of Ranjan, aStd. 4 student of PSBB School,in the school’s swimming poolon Aug. 16 has thrown up manyquestions on safety in swim-ming pools. “It is hard to imag-ine how one coach can manage26 children in a pool at a time.Ideally, there should be a coachfor every 5 to 7 students be-cause his line of vision will belimited to five meters. Also,two lifeguards in uniform mustmonitor the entire pool,” saidT. Elango (coach and Propri-etor of V. V. Swimming Pool).

If the children are just begin-ners then each of them shouldbe coached individually withcare, he said.

There are other aspects ofsafety that require attention,Elango pointed out. For in-

stance, there should belifebuoys and a rope, and thedepth of the pool should beclearly indicated on the poolwalls. Also, only if the water isclear, can the coach see if achild drowns.

“For clear water, the rightamount of chlorine must beadded and water should betested every two months,” hesaid. When the depth variesfrom 3 to 7 ft, it is difficult tomake out if a child is drowningif clarity is poor, he said. It isnot always the case that onlya beginner drowns, said theswimming coach. “Even goodswimmers get tired and whenthey do, they are also suscep-tible to drowning,” he said.

In such cases, the coach orthe lifeguard must press the

victim’s stomach to pump outthe water, give cardiopulmo-nary resuscitation (CPR) orchest compressions, andmouth-to-mouth resuscita-tion. For this, he must undergofirst-aid training provided bysome agencies especially forcoaches.

Some schools which areequipped with swimming poolsand give regular coaching totheir students say utmost carehas to be taken while handlingchildren in water.

“We ensure there are only 5to 6 students in the pool at atime. Two coaches and fourlifeguards are always on duty,”said Sarah Selvakumari (VicePrincipal, Maharishi Interna-tional Residential School). Re-port courtesy The Hindu

Ranjan’s father re-fused to blame the school ad-ministration for Ranjan’sdeath. “I do not suspect anyfoul play in the death of myson,” Manohar said adding thathe had not complained to the

police against the school ad-ministration.Grief-struck relatives and ac-quaintances consoledManohar and his wife Radhikawho were seen clutchingRanjan’s photographs and aconduct certificate given to himby the school recently.

The couple said Ranjan en-joyed swimming and loved play-ing cricket. “He was in goodhealth and left the house cheer-fully on Thursday morning withhis sister Snehitha. Some me-dia reports that suggestedRanjan suffered from epile-psy are not true,” the fathersaid.

A group of Students’ Federa-tion of India (SFI) activistsprotested in front of PSBBSchool, demanding that thepolice book school officials onnon-bailable charges. “Theswimming pool is located in-side the campus, so the schooladministration should be heldresponsible for the boy’sdeath,” an activist said.

A senior police officer saidthat the case is being looked atfrom two angles — one, whetherthe coaches and staff mem-bers made any attempts torescue the boy immediatelyafter he collapsed, and two, ifthey failed to notice the childcollapsing inside the pool andrealized only later, when theymade a head count of the 26children who took part in theswimming class, that Ranjanwas missing.

Fire stations get hi-tech motorcyclesFire stations get hi-tech motorcyclesBy Our Staff Reporter

Royal Enfield motorcyclesequipped with firefighting ap-paratus were given for use bypersonnel of T. Nagar andAshok Nagar Fire and RescueStations by Tamil Nadu Gov-ernment on Aug. 15. One mo-torcycle has been provided foreach station.

R. Ravichandran (StationFire Office, T. Nagar) toldMambalam Times that eachmotorcycle, costing Rs. 6.75lakhs, has also been fitted witha public address system andsiren.

He said that firemen on thesemotorcycles will be able to en-ter narrow streets to fight firesas fire engines find it difficult toapproach narrow roads andlanes.

Each motorbike is equippedwith two cylinders containingchemical mist instead of wa-ter. One liter of the chemical isas effective as 200 liters ofwater used in conventionalfirefighting. The mist also ab-sorbs heat faster. This tech-nology will complement con-ventional methods rather thanreplace them.

Each cylinder will have a ca-pacity of 10 liters. A 2-liter airbottle will be attached to it.When sprayed, the water andair will be compressed underhigh pressure and come out asmist.

While conventional fire ten-ders discharge water at therate of 450 liters to 1,800 litersper minute, the cylinders dis-charge mist at .45 liters persecond. They are ideal for ini-tial stages of a fire. The bikeswill be in operation till fire ten-ders reach the spot. They canonly complement conventionalfire fighting methods ratherthan replace them. They areideal for fires in cars that occuron the highways and ones insmall spaces.

The motorcycles and theequipment have been boughtwith funds provided by theCentral Government.

Dara Singh, the macho hero of my college days (when one thinksmore of one’s muscles than one’s facial map) looked like a mountainwhen, one day, friend Hegde and I walked into the Marina Canteenhaving slipped out of Prof. Sethuraman’s economics drivel at thePresidency College opposite, for elevenses.

Ali, our favourite waiter, told us that the mountain with therippling biceps was Dara Singh. He must have been several inchesbeyond 6 feet, because Hegde, who was a six-footer, looked tinyhunched in his chair sipping tea. I, a good 6 inches shorter thanHegde, never compare myself with anyone and so always felt atease in the company of giants and dwarfs, for I had discovered theHiggs Boson at my birth that we are all variations of particles thatget distributed helter skelter and there is no copyright to it. Higgswill probably have to take a trip to Stockholm for the 2013 Nobelceremony, and I hope he would at least throw these humble wres-tlers or other performers a thought on our good old Bose who, like me,had discovered the truth that was omnipresent that we are allparticles.

Dara, being human, had to go like all good or bad things. Theseperformers or world shakers leave the legacy of wisdom for ordinarychaps like me that, be you ever so high, there is something higherand ineffable, the search for which is what billions of the earthlingsare engaged in.

It is certainly a cold comfort, but comfort is not dependent ontemperature but temperament. The great expo Olympics has justended, but all that I will see is PARTICLES and their clamour forascendancy. No medals from me.
