The plaster of the ceiling at the Osmania University (OU)’s New Research Scholar hostel fell right outside the reading room, where several students were gathered on Wednesday, August 14.
A PhD scholar at the political science department, Nelli Satya, said that the ceiling plaster fell while the students were reading newspapers in the reading room at the OU Hostel, a few meters away. “The ceiling plaster fell just outside the room.”
The ceiling plaster may have weakened as water seeped into it following heavy rains in Hyderabad.
