In a tragic incident, a six-year-old student lost his life, and a teacher was injured when the main gate of a government school building collapsed in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The mishap occurred as students were heading home, prompting immediate reactions from officials and the grieving community.
Authorities identified the deceased as Arbaz Khan, with teacher Ashok Kumar Soni sustaining injuries. Tensions mounted as grieving family members staged a protest at the school. Officials suspect heavy winds contributed to the structure's collapse.
