Seven children were killed in a school building collapse in Rajasthan, prompting urgent inspections that found over 1,000 unsafe classrooms in Kota's government schools.

Kartik was one of seven students who died when the roof of a government primary school collapsed in the district’s Piplodi village. The incident occurred at 8:30 am, when students of the Government Higher Primary School gathered for morning prayers.

Primary investigation has begun into the matter, committees have been formed and action will be taken against the culprits, Jhalawar Collector Ajay Singh Rathore said
