RANCHI: In a tragic incident, the roof of a long-abandoned government school collapsed on Friday morning, killing an elderly man and leaving two others critically injured, officials said.
The accident occurred around 8 a.m. The building once housed a government-run school but had been shut down several years ago due to its unsafe condition.
Despite being declared unfit for use, the crumbling structure continued to be used by some people -- mostly the homeless or poor migrant workers -- as a makeshift shelter.
