Three students were crushed to death and three others injured when a wall constructed precariously near the toilets of a government-aided school on S.N. High Road in Tirunelveli collapsed on Friday morning.
When the students of the 143-year-old Schaffter Higher Secondary School, administered by Tirunelveli CSI Diocese, near Tirunelveli Corporation Office, went to the toilet during the interval at 11 a.m., one of the three ‘covering walls’ [to prevent view from outside], measuring about 6 feet X 5 feet, collapsed and fell on a few students causing serious injuries to them. The walls were built at the entrance of the urinals.
While D. Vishwa Ranjan, from Ramaiyanpatti and K. Anbazhagan, both class 9 students, died on the spot, four others were rushed to the Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital, where R. Suthish, a Class 6 student, succumbed to his injuries.
