A father and his son suffered minor injures after a wall collapsed at a school in outer Delhi’s Kanjhawla on Monday afternoon. Ravinder and his son Yashraj, who were standing close to the wall at the time of the incident, were immediately rushed to a hospital.

The police said a hole being dug near the school’s wall had weakened the wall, which then collapsed.

The police control room received a call regarding the collapse at Venus School in Kanjhawla at 2.25 p.m. Four fire-tenders were rushed to the spot, said an officer from the Delhi Fire Service.
