Five people including three Australians were injured when an under construction building of Mandali Higher Secondary School collapsed in Phulkharka, Dhading district on Wednesday.
The building damaged by the massive earthquake of April 25, 2015, was being reconstructed. French citizen Thomas Waladrust had invested in the reconstruction of the school without the approval of the District Disaster Management Committee where the three Australians were the designers.
“The woods from the roof crumbled and fell upon six people, who were later rescued by the locals and police,” said Police DSP Sharad Kumar Khatri.
Three of the injured are said to be critical.
