Editor,

There is clearly something extremely wrong in this school’s building safety standards, fire hazard prevention features and procedures and the level of inspection and enforcement of standards by local and educational authorities.

That a fire could once break out at an institution housing such a large number of children is already sufficiently concerning; to have a fire at the same institution three times in quick succession is extremely worrying about the concerned authorities’ vigilance to ensure the safety of our children.

Something is seriously amiss here and needs to be corrected without further delay. Thank you.
