A seven-storey building under construction in Anjaiah Nagar, Madhapur, collapsed on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to several others. Local police reported that rescue teams are currently working to clear the debris and are conducting searches for any individuals who may still be trapped under the rubble. The incident has raised concerns about safety standards in construction practices in the area.
So far, two people have lost their lives. Local police and emergency response personnel reached the site soon after the collapse and began rescue operations. “An under-construction seven-storey building collapsed in Anjaiah Nagar. Rescue teams have reached the spot, clearing of debris is underway, and the rescue operation is in progress. “In Madhapur division, the illegal seven-storey under-construction building was stopped by officials for four months. They recently restarted the construction work illegally. “People must understand the risks of illegal constructions. Some people are profiting through such illegal constructions. Many such illegal constructions are going on in Serilingampally. We are seizing buildings, but they are not following the norms. Rescue operations remain underway as authorities work to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collapse.
Officials said the operation was still underway and further details would be shared once the debris is cleared. We will provide more details later,” a police official said. The cellar work was being extended to the adjacent building connected to the seven-storey structure, which led to its sudden collapse,” Gandhi said.
A similar incident had happened earlier, and now it has happened again,” he added.
