The incident left several offices on the top floor, including the Registry and Audit Department, affected by the storm, disrupting normal administrative activities.

In a statement issued by the University’s Public Relations Unit, management confirmed that the extent and cost of the damage are yet to be determined, as assessments by technical teams are ongoing.

Security personnel and staff of the Works Department were immediately deployed to the scene to provide emergency support and ensure safety within the affected area.
