Overview
- A portion of ceiling plaster fell inside a first-year Commerce classroom at the Government PU College for Girls in Kalaburagi on Friday, triggering panic among students.
- Local officials and hospital sources say three girls were admitted with minor injuries, though some news outlets reported five injured and the exact count remains under verification.
- College staff took the injured students to Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences where doctors performed CT scans and other tests and reported the patients stable under 24-hour observation.
- Deputy Commissioner Ikram Shariff and Zilla Panchayat officials visited the hospital, directed a comprehensive inquiry, ordered a structural safety assessment of the building and asked police to inspect the premises.
- The collapse has sharpened local concern about maintenance and construction standards in government school buildings and could prompt urgent repair audits and accountability measures before the next academic session.
