Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru

Mangaluru, Apr 22: Heavy rain lashed the city on Wednesday, April 22, leading to a retaining wall collapse in Attavar and a major tree fall near Car Street, resulting in significant property damage.

In Attavar, a retaining wall situated near the Ayyappa Bhajana Mandira collapsed onto several cars parked alongside it. The impact of the debris left the vehicles severely damaged.

In a separate incident, a massive branch of a tree came crashing down near Basavana Gudi on Car Street. The fallen branch damaged a nearby house and a scooter before landing across the road, leading to a total suspension of traffic in the area for several hours.

Fortunately, no injuries or casualties were reported in either incident. Local authorities have reached the spots to clear the debris and restore normalcy.

    Do you think Contractors has the knowledge how to build a retaining wall? Do we have a quality check on retain walls once it's built. In India even new bridges collapse due to poor materials, Engineering and Design. We hate China. But we have to learn a lot from them. Even if you go to Thailand or Vietnam and see their infrastructure. Far more ahead. Retaining wall collapsing is a small matter. Because we use substandard products on construction, this incident is bound to happen. DK people are only interested in religion war and politics and no development even with the best resource we have in DK.

    Digging to erect flex banners on poles and hence distrubing the soil. The MCC gives only a blind eye. This will happen some day to private walls too.
