A portion of the roof slab of the Government Higher Primary School at Sangolgi (C) village in Aland taluk of Kalaburagi district collapsed suddenly on Sunday morning.
No one was injured as the school was closed for the weekly holiday and there were no students or teachers on the premises at the time of the incident.
The accident could have resulted in serious consequences had the school been functioning, residents said.
The incident comes close on the heels of a recent accident at the Government Pre-University Girls College in Kalaburagi which raised concern over the condition and safety of educational institution buildings across the district.
The latest roof collapse has further intensified public criticism of the neglect in the maintenance of school infrastructure by the Education Department.
Residents and parents have urged the State government to undertake an immediate inspection of old and dilapidated school buildings in the district and take necessary steps to ensure the safety of students and staff.

The HinduIndependentCenter7 days agoA section of the roof at a government higher primary school in Aland taluk, Kalaburagi district, collapsed on Sunday morning. Fortunately, no one was injured because the school was closed for a weekly holiday at the time. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of school infrastructure in the area, following a similar incident at another college in Kalaburagi. Residents and parents are calling for the state government to inspect aging school buildings and improve their maintenance.
Bias read (Center): The article reports on a structural failure at a school without taking a stance on political issues. It focuses on the event itself, the lack of injuries due to the holiday, and public concerns about infrastructure safety. There is no evident ideological framing or biased language.
