As the outer wall of a classroom collapsed, the 35 students and teachers in the school escaped unhurt. After consulting the District Educational Officer, the teachers declared a holiday for the school. As the district has been witnessing continuous rains for the last three days, the wall, drenched in rainwater, collapsed.
