Raichur: Building tilts into adjacent structure in Kot Talar area
Raichur: In an incident reported on Saturday near Moti Masjid in the Kot Talar locality of Raichur city, a multi-storeyed building tilted onto an adjacent structure, resulting in the evacuation of residents.
The four-storeyed building, reportedly weakened due to sewage water seepage following continuous rainfall over the past few days, leaned onto a neighboring house. The affected building, owned by Mohammad Dastagir, a civil engineer currently residing in Bengaluru, was constructed 14 years ago and had been rented out to tenants. The structure leaned onto a house belonging to Mohammad Siraj.
Authorities believe the building’s foundation was compromised due to the inflow of drain water, leading to the structural imbalance. Following the incident, Dastagir was summoned for inquiry.
Municipal Council’s acting president, Sajid Sameer, visited the site and assessed the situation. It was decided to remove the upper floors of the building using a JCB machine and carry out foundation repairs. Municipal engineers were also directed to take the necessary steps to ensure the smooth flow of drainage water in the area.
The building housed three families, and a commercial shop operated on the ground floor. As a precautionary measure, the building was vacated, and police visited the site to gather further information.
