Incident

[edit | edit source]

On 31 August 2005 the roof tiles of the secondary wing collapsed, injuring more than 20 students and 1 teacher. The incident occurred in mid term exam time[afternoon]. The three storied building was built in the 1970s, under the first construction plan of the school. The injured were taken to Muthoot Medical Centre by the school emergency officials, providing them with preliminary care. According to the police, the students suffered from minor head and back injuries and the teacher had only few bruises. The school was only shut down for two days and resumed normal classes the following Thursday.

The site was visited by MLAs Thomas Isaac, Raju Abraham and the district collector. The collapsed roof was reinstalled with modern construction materials.[1]
