Dilapidated government school building collapses
Mudigere, August 14: Two rooms of a 57-year-old government higher primary school building which was in a dilapidated condition, at Chinniga village in the taluk were collapsed completely on Tuesday.
Because of heavy rain that has been lashing the taluk for the last few days, the two classrooms were collapsed. But there were no casualties in the incident.
It was about to collapse because of its condition. As a precautionary measure, the school management has shifted the classes to other rooms. Moreover, there was holiday for the school since two days. The school has total 115 students. When the tahsildar was urged to repair the building, he had promised of reserving Rs 4 lakh for the purpose.
BEO Taranath said that the place where the two classrooms were collapsed would be cleaned. Now the school has six classrooms. For time being, the class which has less number of students will be shifted to the room of the headmaster. A proposal would be sent to the government for reconstructing the room, he said.

Mamata demands PM's resignation over silence on Pak's 'threat' to strike Kolkata in future conflict
Bethuadahari (WB) (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not raise Pakistan's threat to attack Kolkata, during his poll rallies in West Bengal a day earlier.
"You (PM) target Bengal during election rallies; but when Pakistan talks of attacking Bengal, you do not utter a word. You should resign," she said at a poll rally here in Nadia district.
"Why did the prime minister not raise the issue during his rally in Bengal? When Pakistan's defence minister says they will attack Kolkata, why didn't the prime minister say that 'we will take strong action'?" she posed a day after Modi addressed a poll rally in West Bengal's Cooch Behar.
"Just like we do not accept any threat to the country, we will also not take the threat to Kolkata lying down," she said.
Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Saturday warned India that it would respond with a strike in Kolkata to any “future misadventures". “If India tries to stage any false flag operation this time, then God-willingly, we will take it to Kolkata," Asif had said while talking to reporters at his hometown of Sialkot.
