Bhopal: A class 10 student of a government-run PM SHRI school for girls in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal was injured after plaster from the ceiling fell, an official said on Saturday. The incident took place on Friday in PM SHRI Maharani Laxmibai Girls School located in Barkheda, District Education Officer N K Ahirwar told PTI. "The girl required three stitches on her head. She has been discharged from hospital.
I got to know about the incident this afternoon as the school's principal did not inform me yesterday," Ahirwar said. A video of the incident went viral on social media. In it, a teacher with a book in her hand and other students can be seen running to safety as soon as the ceiling plaster falls.
