The footage triggered public outrage over their safety and disruption to students\u2019 schooling during monsoon.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cWe cannot allow children\u2019s studies to be disrupted or staff to risk their safety,\u201d district education officer Sudhanshu Dwivedi told TOI. Teachers unable to mark e-attendance because of flooding will not face any penalties, he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The attendance point will be temporarily shifted to the alternative site.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The DEO has written to Bhind district authorities seeking approval to build a bridge across Baisali. The proposal, forwarded to directorate of public instructions in Bhopal, seeks surveys, clearances and cost assessments in coordination with the public works department. The collector\u2019s office has been asked to examine the bridge\u2019s feasibility, cost and timeline.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Residents welcomed the stopgap measure but said the bridge is the real fix. \u201cEvery monsoon brings the same problem. Children miss school and teachers risk their lives,\u201d a Nadrauli resident told TOI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Parents in Sumer Singh Ka Pura said many students had fallen behind during earlier rain because they could not cross the river. They hoped the proposed bridge could break the monsoon cycle of isolation that has turned a routine school commute into a dangerous river crossing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
