Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has commended Amandeep Kaur, a 9th class student of the same school who saved the lives of four children who showed bravery after a van of a private school in Longowal, Sangrur. The Captain has tweeted that this is the way to brave this student. The Captain has said that he will meet this brave girl soon. Let’s say four children were killed in the accident, but the remaining 12 children in the van were rescued. Amandeep Kaur was also riding in the van at the time of the accident. He was the first to know of the fire. He broke the van’s glass and took out four children.

In fact, when the student got out of the van, he had some bad breath and told the driver but he did not talk. After that, the fire went out. But the student broke the glass and dragged the four children down and took the children away. He told that the driver did not run away but kept trying to rescue the children. But the fire was burning.
