Kadaba: 4 students injured after school wall and roof collapse

Kadaba: A wall and roof of a government school building collapsed, causing minor injuries to four students in a fortunate escape from a potentially fatal incident. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon (August 27) in Kunthoor.

The wall and roof of a classroom at the Kunthoor Government School collapsed. Locals reported that a JCB machine was operating nearby, which may have caused the already weakened structure to collapse.

The repair work of the building was underway and during the ongoing work, the roof collapsed, the officials said.

The injured students were admitted to a hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, parents have expressed their displeasure over the “irresponsibility of the teachers” who made the students sit inside the building where repair work was going on. Parents have also complained to the Puttur field education officials about this.
