A portion of the corridor ceiling at Hyderabad's historic Government City College collapsed on Monday morning, with no casualties reported. Charminar MLA Mir Zulfiqar Ali inspected the building and urged the state government to release emergency funds for urgent repairs, citing the risk to nearly 6,000 students. He noted that continuous rains and lack of maintenance have exposed reinforcement rods in several places.
The college, one of Hyderabad's oldest heritage structures, traces its origins to a school established by Nizam Mahbub Ali Khan in 1865. It moved to its present building in 1921 and was upgraded to a college in 1929. The building was designed by British architect Vincent Esch. The MLA has called for a detailed structural assessment and restoration work, emphasizing student safety and preservation of the heritage institution.
