This huge tree is located at the corner of the school near Gate No. 2 where parents and relatives of children usually gather to fetch them home.

On the stormy evening of Feb 28, I was walking towards the gate to fetch my granddaughter when a huge branch came crashing down from a height of some six to eight storeys, missing me by inches. It was at least 2m long with a girth of about 25cm. It fell some five to 10 minutes before the kids were released.

I shudder to think what would have happened if the branch had fallen later. I informed the school but do not know whether any preventive steps are being taken.
