    Its heartbreaking to hear the death of youngsters due to man made mistakes. The walls will be soft with dampness due to rainy season and its not the right time to carry out such activities during rainy season. May their souls rest in peace and their loved ones get strength and peace to bear the loss of their loved one

    Mostly old houses and temples built with mud walls. Surprising me the timing to renovate in the rainy season. who ever took the decision to do now should be booked for negligence and causing death.

    An unexpected tragedy where a dilapidated wall collapsed. Two people were killed and few were injured of which two sustained serious injuries. May the soul of the deceased rest in eternal peace and sympathies to the bereaved families and loved ones. I wish a speedy recovery of those injured in this incident. Thanks to Umesh Marpalli for the pictures and also to Daijiworld for the media coverage.

    This is what generally happens when Engineers are not consulted...!!!??? To save some money people lose life. Yes generally construction is done by masons and labourer, but engineers advise also important which may add a little more money for construction.

    To do roof repair engineers are not required. carpenter and mason is enough . unfortunately the time to do the repair is not right.

    In Karnataka, all is fake, corrupt and desperate party-fund raising. Temples, churches and mosques will crumple down in curse of such monstrous corruption and the curse of suiciders will ruin our beautiful state until the Saviour sets in after the elections!
