The Kerala State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed the district panchayat secretary and the Attingal district education officer to investigate the incident in which the top floor of a government school building under construction collapsed.
The building of the Chirayinkeezhu Puthukari Arya Vilasom Lower Primary School collapsed before classes could begin.
Children did not sustain any injuries.
Commission chairperson Antony Dominic has sought a report on the incident within a month.
The panchayat began building a classroom above the existing structure at a cost of ₹8 lakh.
Corruption was alleged in the construction of the building.
The contractor had no prior experience, it was alleged.
The school, with classes from 1 to 4, has 42 students hailing from financially weak backgrounds.
The commission direction comes on a complaint from local resident S. Babu.
