A source who is an eye witness, revealed that the students were quickly rescued and taken to a nearby building, where water was poured on them.
"The teacher is a son of the owner of the building. The teacher is in the habit of taking the students to the building site for menial jobs. The students were rescued and taken to a nearby building where water was poured on them.
