Jaipur Coaching Institute Sealed After Suspected Gas Leak Hospitalizes 10 Students

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, with officials suspecting toxic fumes from a drain or kitchen smoke as the cause.

Ten students from a coaching institute in Jaipur's Mahesh Nagar area were hospitalized after fainting due to suffocation and severe headaches on Sunday evening.
Initial investigations suggest the cause may be toxic fumes from a drain or smoke from the kitchen on the institute's roof, though food poisoning has been ruled out.
The Jaipur Greater Municipal Corporation has sealed the institute temporarily and formed a six-member committee to conduct a detailed investigation into the incident.
The Rajasthan Human Rights Commission has called for free medical treatment, compensation for the affected students, and action against the institute's management.
Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and other leaders have emphasized the need for stricter safety regulations and proposed relocating coaching institutes to a designated 'Coaching Hub' in Pratap Nagar.
