On record
A false ceiling section at the Kozhikode KSRTC bus terminal collapsed in the early morning of June 12, 2026, injuring two passengers with head injuries. An IIT Madras structural assessment had already flagged the building for "structural weakness" back in 2021, but no repairs were carried out in the intervening five years, and the terminal's second-floor ceiling reportedly remains in a similarly hazardous state.
The official record states: "Not specified: no government official statement was recorded in the reporting; local coverage noted the incident occurred early enough in the morning that "a major disaster was averted only due to the timing.""

“IIT Madras flagged this building as structurally weak in 2021, and the ceiling confirmed it in 2026 on two passengers' heads.”
“It came down early in the morning, which is the only reason the injury list is two people long.”
“Five years of no repairs, and the second-floor ceiling is reportedly in the same condition as the one that fell.”
