Udupi, Oct 12: A video stating that an unused huge water tank at Koteshwara has toppled over on to the road has gone viral on social media. However, the gram panchayat in fact demolished it after taking sufficient precautions.
The water tank was unused for the last ten years. It was demolished in a nine hour long operation by the Koteshwara gram panchayat with the cooperation of various departments.
The national highway was also blocked for a few minutes to ensure safety. There was no untoward incident but people are portraying it as an accident.
The Koteshwara gram panchayat had warned the people a day in advance that the tank would be demolished.
