Two students sustained injuries after a concrete section detached from the ceiling of their classroom at a government-run Gurukul in Khammam district on Tuesday. The incident occurred during school hours, prompting immediate response from school management and local authorities.
Both students were receiving medical attention following the collapse. The extent of their injuries remained under assessment at the time of reporting.
Education department officials and structural engineers have been notified to inspect the building and determine the cause of the ceiling failure. Preliminary indications suggest possible structural degradation or maintenance lapses, though a formal investigation is underway.
The incident has raised concerns about building safety standards at educational institutions across the state. School administrators have temporarily restricted access to the affected classroom pending clearance from structural experts.
Authorities have not yet disclosed whether classes would resume in the affected section or if students would be relocated to alternative facilities while repairs are undertaken.
