10 students injured in Faridabad after wall collapses on school roof

Ten school students were injured after a wall of an under-construction building adjacent to a private school collapsed onto a school roof on Saturday, said police.

The impact caused a portion of the roof to cave in, trapping the children under the debris, they said.

School staff immediately launched rescue efforts and pulled the students out from beneath the rubble. Four students sustained serious injuries, while six others suffered minor injuries, police said.

All the injured students were taken to BK Hospital for treatment.

Following the incident family members rushed to the school and then to the hospital. Police also reached the spot and inspected the site.

The school was evacuated immediately after the accident. Police said they are investigating whether the adjoining building was being constructed in accordance with safety norms.
