Early Times Report

Srinagar: At-least sixty girl students were injured, five of them seriously, when roof of a school building caved-in Tuesday in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.

Eyewitness said that the roof of Islamia High School English medium Bangla Bagh collapsed at around 1100 hours while students of 8th, 9th and 10th standard were offering morning assembly prayers on its fourth floor. Meanwhile, the district administration has ordered an inquiry into the incident and has filed a case against the school authorities.

Sixty students were hurt. Five of them seriously in the incident, the sources said.
Sources said that as soon as the incident occurred, pedestrian, school staff and patrol duty of 46 Rashtriya Rifles rushed to the spot and started a large scale rescue operation and removed the injured to a local hospital.
