The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has formally requested a comprehensive report from the district magistrate of Darbhanga following reports that a school roof in the state of Bihar is at risk of collapse. The school, which houses 191 students, has reportedly shown signs of structural weakness that could jeopardise the safety of its pupils.
