Bihar school props up roof with desks after pillar collapse

A government school in Darbhanga district, Bihar, is using benches, desks and bricks as makeshift supports for its roof after a pillar collapsed several months ago. The school, which has 191 enrolled students, has resorted to this temporary arrangement to keep the structure standing.

The situation highlights the state of disrepair in several Bihar government school buildings and raises concerns about student and staff safety in educational institutions.
