Mangaluru: House near Ballabagh-Bejai Road at risk of collapse due to cyclone-induced rain


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (ANK)

Mangaluru, Dec 4: The residence of Umesh, located near the Ballabagh-Bejai road, is on the verge of collapse due to heavy rains triggered by the Fengal cyclone. A portion of the storm drain to which the house is attached has collapsed, leaving the house's pillar exposed and the structure dangerously unstable.

Umesh, who resides in the house with his wife and two children, reported that the incident occurred on December 3. The damage has made it difficult for the family to enter the house, as the area near the entrance step has also collapsed.













The local corporator visited the site on December 4 and assured the family that immediate measures would be taken. For now, sandbags will be placed to prevent further collapse. However, no steps have been taken to relocate the family from the precarious structure.

    It is wrong to say or judge these buildings are encroachment in every situation. The canals may be small in earlier years but due to manupulations in the surrounding areas and also concretisation water flow and intensity may be more now and in the coming years. It is the responsibility of the society/Government to compensate the suffering of people due to hapazard growth

    Residents were saved by some divine intervention; such a big structure appears to have been built on slushy land, almost hollow, throwing all scientific considerations to the winds; most of the people here give contracts to TDH guys who would be having some experience in centring work & civil construction!
