Overview

  • A section of the first-floor corridor ceiling collapsed on Sunday, with no injuries reported and students sent home.
  • Officials told the college to shift classes to temporary quarters, identifying space at a new Sultan Bazaar building or the Telangana Minority Residential School.
  • About 1,200–1,300 students are affected as the campus has reported chronic seepage, cracks, exposed iron and even electric shocks after rains.
  • TGEWIDC declared the buildings dilapidated in November 2024, and a reconstruction plan remains pending with the finance department at an estimated Rs 15–30 crore.
  • The incident highlights a wider problem, with more than 30 government junior college buildings across Telangana flagged as unsafe, including several in Hyderabad.
