    Of course it is a terrific case of negligence from school management.Very sad.That too both girls from same house.How can they keep a hot tub of rice water on the grounds of school playing ground?It is mystery for me that both girls /sisters fell in that tub.However pray family may have enough strenght to bear the pain by lossof two children.It is not enough workers to dismiss from job or others ,but make them to answer and punishment too.May these souls rest in peace.Negligence at the highest point.
