Jaipur: Four students sustained minor injuries after a portion of ceiling plaster fell inside a classroom at a government senior secondary school in Rajasthan’s Banswara district, officials said on Tuesday.
The incident occurred on Monday morning when Class 11 students were attending lessons and the plaster suddenly collapsed.
The debris fell on desks and benches, injuring four students, officials said. They were taken to a hospital and later discharged after primary treatment.
School principal Arun Vyas said the building is in a dilapidated condition and complaints had been repeatedly raised with authorities.
“Out of 13 rooms, eight are in poor condition, including three that are highly unsafe. The school had undergone repair work worth around Rs 10 lakh about two years ago,” he said.
District Education Officer Jaideep Purohit said instructions have been issued to keep three rooms closed and run the school in two shifts as a precautionary measure.
Further action in the matter is underway, officials added. PTI
