Toi has organized a sports activity in our complex: ruchira residency, 369, purbachal, kalitala main rd, em bypass, kol - 78 on 17th june, 2017.in this activity toi has included a dangerous sport called sack race on ruchira's hard cemented surface. Ruchira residency does not have any green or earthy field. My son aditeya ghosh got badly injured as he fell down and got a fracture by the side of his left ankle. My son is in class 5 and 10 years of age. He said that at the time of nominations nothing was mentioned that it is going to be a sack race and nobody has divulged the nature of the race up until the race was about to start and the kids were kind of goaded into participation. Pl also note that the kids were mostly alone and no permission from the parents was obtained from toi regarding the participation and no prior nomination was sought. When i enquired, after the incident, i was told by the toi representatives that it's a normal practice to have such sack race in other complexes too and that nothing has happened so far - i was appalled to hear such an explanation...!! Sack race is a sport where falling is almost absolutely a certainty for a few runners - it's in the nature of the game...!! To conduct it on hard cemented surface for little kids is an offence..!! Something very serious can happen anytime...!! I am appalled to see how an organization like toi can allow such dangerous sport on hard surfaces?? How can they indulge in marginalizing with safety and security of people in general like this?? It seems there is no governance of their actions in place and no accountability?? My son's school will reopen from the coming monday and i am afraid he will not be able to attend school for months. Who is responsible for such utter callousness?? Pl treat this as my formal complaints through these channels. Thanking you. Yours faithfully. Avijit ghosh (Tower 1, flat 4/1, ruchira residency) Was this information helpful? |
