Provincial Minister for Education and Literacy, Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar has directed the director education concerned to probe into the incident of collapse of classroom ceiling as to why the school was run in the building and classes conducted when the building was declared dangerous. Taking notice of collapse of classroom ceiling at one of Government Girls Primary School at village Khairpur Juso district Qambar-Shahdadkot that injured around 20 students and their teacher, he prayed for the early recovery of the students and their teacher and termed the incident sheer carelessness and negligence of the headmistress and officers concerned.

He said that in all cases the safety of the students must be ensured and action would be taken against those found negligent.
