A school’s boundary wall collapsed during the landing of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s helicopter in Arifwala. A video of the incident has been widely shared on social media.
The helicopter was landing at a temporary helipad set up near a housing colony as the Chief Minister arrived to inaugurate Eminence School. According to initial reports, the strong air pressure created by the helicopter’s rotating blades may have caused the boundary wall to collapse.
People present at the scene were surprised when the wall suddenly fell during the landing. Despite the incident, no injuries were reported, and everyone nearby remained safe.
The Chief Minister’s visit continued as planned after the helicopter landed safely. Security officials and local authorities quickly responded to the situation and assessed the area to ensure there was no further danger.
So far, officials have not released a detailed statement explaining the exact cause of the wall collapse. An official investigation has also not been announced. However, early reports suggest that the powerful rotor wash from the helicopter was likely responsible for the incident.
The video of the collapsing wall has attracted attention online, with many people discussing the safety arrangements made for helicopter landings in populated areas. Some have also raised questions about the condition of the wall and whether additional safety measures should have been taken before the landing.
Authorities are expected to review the incident and determine whether any further action is required. As of now, no damage beyond the collapsed wall has been officially reported, and no casualties or injuries have been confirmed. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper safety planning during VIP visits involving helicopter operations.
