What @KIITUniversity has done - is a first of sorts. Not only tried to cover up a student death that was preventableโฆ but in an attempt to suppress the tragedy- further damaged Indiaโs relations with Nepal. Imagine the Nepal PM @kpsharmaoli having to intervene to save Nepalese students !! โฆ. Who allowed these guys even come close to a classroom let alone set up a University???
๐จ A 3rd year Nepali student took her own life at KIIT University in Odisha. Fellow students are protesting, and the officials are more worried about reputation?
This is Annapurna (8,091ย m/26,545ย ft), the 10th highest mountain in the world.
It is widely considered the most dangerous mountain for climbers, having a very high fatality rate.
