Students Question Safety After Commerce Block Incident
Bengaluru: A portion of the ceiling in the
commerce block of the Government Arts College collapsed on Saturday night,
raising serious concerns about infrastructure safety in the institution. The
impact broke benches in Room No. 11 of the newly constructed Department of
Commerce and Management building near Bangalore Gas College.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported as the
incident occurred after college hours. However, students and faculty expressed
concern over the potential risk if the collapse had taken place during classes.
The classroom was being used for final-year BCom classes, and had the incident
occurred during teaching hours, it could have endangered the lives of students
and lecturers.
Students have blamed poor construction
quality for the incident and questioned the government’s accountability in
ensuring safety standards. They urged authorities to take immediate action to
prevent such occurrences in the future.
