Two killed in under-construction building collapse
An under-construction four-storey residential building at Garudacharpalya in Mahadevapura collapsed on Wednesday, allegedly killing two persons. The body of the contractor, Mohan Nair, has been retrieved.
However, the fire department personnel succeeded in saving three children caught in the basement, including an infant.
About 25 labourers were working on the fourth floor moulding when the building came crashing down after supporting columns gave way.
While most of the labourers were working on the concrete mix, transporting it to the
top using a pulley, four workers were at the fourth floor. Three children were playing in the basement when the building came crashing down around 11:50 am. The fire brigade was pressed into action immediately. Within an hour, the three children, an eight-month-old infant and two seven-year old girls, were rescued from the basement.
However, Sabanna, a 24-year-old labourer was feared trapped in the basement and possibly dead. The under-construction building was allegedly unauthorised. The building comprised four storeys with a basement, a clear violation of BBMP norms.
Owner of the building Manjunath Nayak, Subbarao, the mason, Mohan Nair, the contractor and the engineer are absconding. Chief Engineer of Mahadevapura Zone, Krishna, has lodged a complaint with the police. The Mahadevapura police have registered a case for negligence and also under Sections 320, 321 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976 for unauthorised construction.
Senior BBMP officials visited the spot. Gangadharaiah, joint commissioner, BBMP, Mahadevapura Zone, told Deccan Herald that the building had no sanction from BBMP. The Palike had neither approved the building plan, nor did the site have a B-Khatha.
“As the building that caved was found to be unauthorised , we will file a complaint with the police and also demolish it after the rescue operations are completed,” he said.
