Police said none of the schoolchildren were injured in the incident as it happened during a time when all were in classrooms.

Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani later visited the school and ordered a probe. School authorities said an enquiry into the incident has been initiated and actions will be taken against anyone responsible.

Locals said a few cracks had developed on the wall a few years back and they had informed the school authorities. “We warned them as the wall was a danger not only to the school but also to the shops. But nothing was done about it,” Sandeep, a local, said.
