Tragedy struck during an Independence Day celebration in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, when a school porch collapsed, resulting in the death of an eight-year-old boy and injuries to two others.

The victim, Nizam, the son of Naeem, lost his life, while Saif Ali, 11, and Shaidana, 10, sustained injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment. District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police visited the scene, inspecting the collapsed porch and issuing directives as necessary.
