Faisalabad school sealed after classroom roof collapse injures student

A ninth grade student, Sajjad Zahid (14), was seriously injured when the roof of a classroom at Alflah Grammar School in Faisalabad collapsed on Tuesday. The incident occurred at Chak 132-RB, Sahuwala, in Chak Jhumra tehsil. No other students were present in the classroom at the time of the collapse, according to the school administration. Sajjad was taken to Chak Jhumra THQ Hospital for treatment.

Following the incident, Faisalabad District Education Authority CEO ordered the sealing of the school building and took legal action against the administration for operating the dilapidated institute. Police in Mian Channu arrested a juvenile suspect, Adeel (15), who allegedly committed a brutal crime in Chak 75/15-L.
