The state at the Bandra hostel (above and below) where a ceiling slab fell on a student early this month, leaving him with head injuries. The students have now been shifted to a transit hostel

On April 9 at around 4 am, a ceiling slab at the state-run J J hostel in Kalanagar, fell on a second-year diploma student. Vaibhav Marathe was rushed to Guru Nanak Hospital and administered six stitches to his head. The hostel structure has now been declared dangerous and dilapidated and students have been shifted to a transit space while repairs are being conducted. Yet, this isn't the city's first government-run hostel to be in the news for all the wrong reasons.
