“A running fan fell in the Rajasthan University canteen… What are we waiting for—a major accident? Why is student safety being treated with such negligence?” said a concerned user reacting to the incident on social media.

“Just two months ago, ₹18 lakh was spent on repairs in the university canteen. The administration is clearly involved in large-scale corruption. It’s deeply disturbing that a fan fell on a student. Do student lives have no value?” alleged another user.

“We were lucky this time. No one was seriously injured,” wrote one user, pointing to how close the incident came to causing serious harm.

“Thank God it didn’t fall directly on anyone,” commented another, expressing relief over the narrow escape.
