FAMILIES affected by the tragic Kahna roof collapse say poverty, rather than any one person, was responsible for the incident that claimed the lives of 14 children, even as several other youngsters and their teacher remain under treatment at a local hospital.
Hassan, a labourer and resident of the same run-down street where the roof-collapse occurred on June 30, lost his youngest son, five-year-old Arkam.
“We have forgiven the teacher for the death of our son,” he said, while sitting outside her home.
Anila, the teacher, taught children from the locality aged between five and 14. She and her daughter were also injured in the roof collapse.
