The inferno, which raged for an hour, left bodies of the children burnt beyond recognition. 93 Children died in this incident. By 11 am, firefighters and other authorities had started to break down the concrete structure because the only way in to the classroom was a single staircase. Investigations showed that the school did not have fire safety equipment. District Collector J. Radhakrishnan was quickly on the spot. Voice Trust Director T Murugesan in association with Apollo Hospitals Madurai immediately arranged for ambulances and vehicles to carry the injured to the Hospital. One child named Angeline 6yrs old with 70% burns was given free plastic treatment at Apollo Hospital Madurai. After her recovery, full education support was provided by the hospital.
