    It is very important to have good protective railings at flats especially in higher falls because fall can sometimes lead to severe issues

    As per my safety officer experience. I asume that reason for fall could be slipery floor due to rain. As she is student ther was lack of awareness. And the main reason is height of building in manglore are killer buildings. High rise building should be banned in manglore. All for money sake buildes do negligencies.

    But the balcony railing or wall should be atleast 1mtr in height so that a person cannot fall off accidentally unless otherwise he overreaches or perched on a stool and bends down? Day before in Bejai one elderly person fell down from the 6th floor! Difficult to understand what's going on in the Smart City?

    RIP! Very shocking and mysterious as buildings have sufficiently heightened balcony railings (1 mtr height) so that a person doesn't fall over unless he is perched on a stool?

    i feel there is something fishy here as a 15 year old girl is highly unlikely to fall from 12th floor. RIP to the departed soul

    As per the information received, she was putting the clothes on the rope for drying in the balcony. She was alone in the house but with his younger brother as both the parents were Doctors and at the Hospital.

    It is heartbreaking beyond words the loss of such a young life — a soul full of potential, dreams, and a future yet to unfold, taken in such a sudden and tragic way. May her soul rest in eternal peace. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this incredibly difficult time.
