A portion of the compound wall of St. Britto’s School in Mapusa collapsed on Sunday, causing damage to three parked two-wheelers and partially affecting a residential house adjacent to the school premises, according to local reports.
The incident, which occurred during heavy rainfall, led to debris falling onto a narrow passage where the vehicles were parked. Residents reported a loud crash and rushed out to find the motorcycles buried under the rubble. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
