Police said that teachers and local villagers helped pull the children out from under the debris before rescue teams arrived. The situation is tense, and rescue operations are still continuing.
At least 17 students were present inside the building when a section of classrooms for Classes 6 and 7 gave way, said SHO Vijendra Singh of Dangipura police station.
