KOLLAM: The cover of a waste tank at Kollam Eroor LP school got destroyed resulting in the injury of five students. The students, who were playing on top of the tank, fell into the tank once the cover tore down. The accident occurred in the afternoon.

It was the timely intervention of the locals and school authorities which helped to avoid a horrific disaster. While three students are currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Anchal, two others have been transferred to the Thiruvananthapuram medical college. The concrete tank has been remaining ineffective for over a long period.
