Wall Collapse Injures Four Students in Karnataka

Four students sustained minor injuries when the wall and roof of a classroom collapsed at the Government Higher Primary School in Kunthoor, Kadaba taluk, Karnataka. The 74-year-old building was undergoing repair work due to rain damage when the incident occurred, and the students were trapped under debris but were quickly rescued and hospitalized. The headmaster and a junior engineer have been suspended pending an investigation into safety lapses. Officials have decided to relocate the 150 students to nearby buildings until reconstruction is complete to prevent future incidents. The incident highlights broader concerns over the safety of school infrastructure, as similar accidents have occurred in other parts of India, including Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, and Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu.
