Building collapse in Bengaluru, no casualties reported
Bengaluru, Sep 27: A three-storey building rented out to 'Namma Metro' construction workers near the city's Lakkasandra area, collapsed on Monday, police sources said.
No one was inside when the building came down, and no casualties have been reported, they said.
Around 25-30 labourers, mostly migrants, were reportedly living in the building, and no one was inside when it collapsed.
The building came down at about 11:45 am, and the visuals of the collapse have gone viral on social media.
According to sources, a few minutes before the building crashed, plaster from walls and the ceiling was falling down, following which fire and emergency officials were informed.
Officials immediately arrived and cordoned off the area, and evacuated people living in and around the structure, minutes before it came crashing down.
According to sources, the building is said to be old and it had developed cracks several days ago. They accused the owner of negligence.
Police have registered an FIR against the building owner Suresh and investigation is on.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
