Hysteria shuts school 
Panchakanya Higher Secondary School located at Bijayakharka, Khotang, has once again pulled 
down its shutters for a week, after mass hysteria seen among students went out of control. 
After the students started weeping, yelling and collapsing, the school was shut down till 
December 1. 
The school was closed till yesterday after as many as seven students collapsed due to hysteria 
last Wednesday. 
Head teacher of the School Prem Kumar Shrestha confirmed that the school had been closed for 
another week after eight students collapsed today. 
“We have shut the school to control the disease from spreading to other pupils,” Shrestha added. 
The closure has adversely affected classes of 300 students at the school. A school source said 
that shamans were working to help the collapsed students regain consciousness. 
Meanwhile, Dr Madhav Lamsal, Chief at District Hospital Khotang, said that mass hysteria was 
the reason behind the students falling sick. 
“Since the disease can also be healed through counseling, we have asked the school to counsel 
students,” said Dr Lamsal. According to him, a team of three health workers were deployed at 
the school to study the disease. 
Similar problem was seen in the students of Kalika Secondary School at Kharmi last year. 
However, the month-long hysteria was resolved with the help of counseling by teachers 
themselves.
