What's happening to govt buildings, some collapsing, others catching fire: Rajasthan HC
Jaipur (PTI): Observing that some are collapsing and others are catching fire, a concerned Rajasthan High Court asked what was happening to government buildings in the state.
The court's remarks came on Monday, hours after a fire in Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Hospital on Sunday night killed six ICU patients. The court was hearing a case related to the collapse of a government school building in Jhalawar in July in which seven students died.
"What is happening to government buildings? Some are collapsing, others are catching fire," a division bench of Justices Mahendra Kumar Goyal and Ashok Kumar Jain said.
The court also directed the state government to submit a safety roadmap by October 9, especially for school buildings, to prevent such tragedies in the future.
Advocate General Rajendra Prasad told the court that students from unsafe school buildings have been shifted to other places and funds sanctioned for repair and reconstruction.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
