Mangaluru, Aug 2: Despite a councillor's appeal for urgent action, a house in danger of collapse in Ullal city municipality limits finally gave way on Friday morning, injuring a father and daughter near Melangadi Mosque.
Following the death of four people due to a wall collapse in Madani Nagar, Ullal city municipality was urged to make alternate housing arrangements for residents of the dilapidated house. However, no action was taken. The house, owned by Khateeja and occupied by her financially struggling family, collapsed, trapping and injuring Abbas and his daughter.
Khamarunnisa Nizam, the councillor for Ward 11, had requested repairs or alternative housing on July 16. The lack of response from city municipality authorities led to this latest incident, resulting in injuries to the family members.
