A student with disabilities had died after a fall from the old The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) building at Porvorim and later succumbed to injuries on September 11 this year.
The accident had occurred when the victim along with his mother had visited the school to update his Aadhaar Card.
While they were on the second floor, his mother went inside to submit the documents, the victim was standing outside. Tragically, while leaning against a railing, it gave way, resulting in a devastating fall. The victim had sustained head and spinal injuries and was also facing breathing issues since his ribs were also injured.
