A major disaster was averted after a portion of a building at the Government Central High School in Attakulangara, Thiruvananthapuram, collapsed. No casualties or injuries were reported as the incident occurred after students and teachers had left the school premises for the day.

Nearly half of the building, which housed the Samagra Shiksha Kerala (SSK) office, collapsed when the decayed wooden beams supporting the tiled roof gave way. Local reports indicate that the building was only superficially renovated with ceiling work and fresh paint, while its structural integrity remained severely compromised.
