In a sad state of affairs, a student was injured after bathroom ceiling collapses due to dampnes♐s inside a hostel in Jawaharlal Nehru University on Thursday.
The incident took place at the varsi♔ty’s𒀰 Sabarmati Hostel.
"The student was severely injured and has bee🐲n taken to the Safdarjung Hospital. This is a clear case of criminal negligence on part of🌳 the hostel wardens and the Dean of Students,” All India Students' Association activist Madhurima Kundu said.
He continued: "We have time and again brought up the issue of dilapidated hostel infrastructure and falling ceilings with the authorities, but the JNU administ✨ration has been trying to digress the issue in the name of 𓆉lack of funds,"
A senior university official confirmed the incident and said that due to dampness, the portion of the bathroom ceiling c💖ollapsed and injured the second ye🐓ar student of BA in German languages.
"The student sustained minor injuries and was taken to Safdarjung Hospital by theౠ hostel warden. He is doing fine. He underwent an X-ray which shows everything is fine. The report of CT Scan is awaited," the official said.
The official said there are infrastructure issꦓues in t⛦he university and hostels, specifically the ones that are old, require repair.
"Weꦆ have not got funds. We have sought Rs 54 crore to carry out major repair work in hostels but the approval is awaited. We have carried outജ minor repair work in Brahmputra Hostel. Sabarmati Hostel will be next followed by Narmada. These are old hostels," he added.
A senior police official, however, said, "We have not received any PCR call or any complaint so far in this regard."(With PTI inputs)
