Delhi govt school student in hospital after ceiling fan falls on her head

A girl student of Delhi government school in Delhi's Nangloi area was hospitalised after the ceiling fan in her classroom fell on her head. The girl suffered head injuries due to this accident. She was admitted to a private hospital in Nangloi and is undergoing treatment.

The incident happened on August 27 when the teacher was teaching the students.

This comes amidst an ongoing spat between the ruling AAP and opposition BJP over a front-page New York Times article, which praised the education initiatives of the Delhi government. BJP has alleged that the article was “paid news”, while NYT has issued a statement saying that the report was “impartial, on-the-ground reporting.”


BJP MP Manoj Tiwari tweeted a photo of the girl with face blurred. He accused the Delhi Government for the poor condition of the school. "She has become victim of world class facility of AAP led Delhi Govt," he said in the tweet.


The student alleged that the ceiling had a damp and it was dripping.

"The fan fell off the ceiling in the classroom on August 27 when the classes were going on. The ceiling had a damp and water was dripping from it because of which the ceiling broke off and the fan fell down," she said.
