At least 30 people were injured on Friday when a temporary tent put up as part of an ongoing science fair collapsed at GHSS Bekur school in Manjeshwar’s Uppala here, police said.

The injured were hospitalised, the police said.

”The incident happened in the afternoon. Some children and a few teachers have minor injuries and bruises. They all have been shifted to various hospitals nearby in various ambulances and private vehicles,” police said.

Locals said the tent collapsed during the lunch-break when not many people were around.
