Earlier, the school authorities have lodged several complaints before the District Administration stating about the condition of the school and rise in the water level of Jiadhol River, however, no proper step have been initiated which led to the collapse of the school building.

During the recent floods in Assam, a video of a primary school building collapsing in Tengaguri area of Morigaon district got viral in the month of July. The video, posted by a news agency, shows the school building completely getting submerged in the rushing waters of the Brahmaputra.
