According to reports, the incident took place around the time when the school was about to close for the day. The lift reportedly fell from the first floor to the ground floor, leading to minor to moderate injuries among the teachers. The school management immediately responded and shifted the injured to People’s Hospital in Pragathi Nagar for treatment. Doctors confirmed that the teachers sustained bone fractures, but their condition is stable.
Experts stated that the impact was minimal since the lift fell only from the first floor. “Had it slipped from three or four floors, it could have been a major tragedy,” they said. Locals also pointed out that the situation could have turned fatal if students had been in the lift at the time. Meanwhile, student associations demanded safety checks and regular fitness certifications for lifts in all educational institutions to prevent such incidents in the future.
Mandal Education Officer visited the injured teachers at the hospital and assured support. Former Nizampet President Akula Satish demanded strict action against the school, alleging it was being run in an unauthorized building without an occupancy certificate.
