Yesterday, at about 10:30 PM, a ceiling fan dropped on the floor in working state rotating at full speed, and that too without a warning.
The incident happened in 009-B of OBH. Just 5-10 seconds prior to the fall of the fan, the residents of the room, Nitin Grewal and Raj Kumar were standing beneath it talking, whereas the third room mate, Manjeet Nandal was on the other side of the room on his own bed. This could have been a major accident with even a loss of life, had the fan dropped on the head of someone.
The incident was immediately informed to the attendent present in the hostel at that moment. When no response came in return, except a consolation to the loss of property, the incident was baught into light to the Rector of Hostel, Mr. Roderigues in presence of Warden, Mr. Shekhawat. An immediate action was taken. The warden told that this is a major problem and the similar incidents have also occurred twice in NBH.
To be noted that the flank 'Groud-B' was recently repaired and all the setup of fans and other electric instruments were recently done few months back. Yet, the fan dropped. All the three room mates had to spend the entire warm night without fan, and with mosquitoes.
This could have led to a major injury. Today morning, the electrician came to the victims' room and inspected the reason. He told that the nut and bolt used was of very low grade and poor quality. We were shown the broken bolt and compared with that of bolt which was recommended (but not used). The broken bolt was almost half in diameter than that of recommended.
Are you safe? May be your fan also drop tomorrow? Who is responsibile? Be a responsible for your own life. Demand for a thorough check for all fans' bolts in the hostels and Adm. blobk. It is for your own safety.
Its not a question of cost of a bolt. Its not about the damage of a fan. Its not a matter of laugh. Its not a joke. Its a question of your life, your career. Take it seriously.
