Ceiling collapse at Kerala school raises safety concerns over public infrastructure.

A gypsum ceiling in the auditorium of Kodali Government Lower Primary School in Thrissur, Kerala, collapsed around dawn, but no one was hurt as the school was closed due to a rain holiday. The ceiling, built in 2023 for about Rs 54 lakh, had reportedly shown signs of structural issues for years. The incident has sparked concerns over school building safety and calls for better maintenance and oversight of public infrastructure.
