The incident took place on Friday in PM SHRI Maharani Laxmibai Girls School located in Barkheda, District Education Officer N K Ahirwar told PTI. "The girl required three stitches on her head. She has been discharged from hospital.
I got to know about the incident this afternoon as the school's principal did not inform me yesterday," Ahirwar said. A video of the incident went viral on social media. In it, a teacher with a book in her hand and other students can be seen running to safety as soon as the ceiling plaster falls.
