Thiruvananthapuram Corporation Mayor V.V. Rajesh has demanded that former Education Minister V. Sivankutty explain the collapse of the Samagra Shiksha Kerala (SSK) office building located on the Attakulangara Government Central High School campus. The Mayor questioned why Rs 3 crore was spent on renovating an old structure that should have been demolished, and announced that the municipal corporation has ordered an investigation into the incident.

The roof of the building collapsed around 6:00 PM after students and teachers had left the school premises, preventing any casualties. Reacting to the incident, former minister V. Sivankutty termed the collapse extremely serious and called for a comprehensive probe, emphasizing the need to verify if the building had obtained a fitness certificate from the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.
