A five-story building collapsed in the Shimla region of Himachal Pradesh, and more specifically in Ghandal village, Dhami area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, as residents had been evacuated prior to the incident. The collapse resulted in damage to the road, leading to disruptions in traffic flow. A video circulating on social media captured the moment of the collapse.
The incident took place around 12 pm, as reported by PTI. According to officials, the building was sinking, and the base columns had developed cracks. Thanks to the proactive evacuation of residents and the disconnection of the building's electrical connections, there were no fatalities. In fact, authorities took anticipatory measures to evacuate residents and minimize potential loss of life and property.
Nishant, the sub-divisional magistrate (Rural), explained that the building collapsed due to excavation work in the hilly area above it. Moreover, he mentioned another individual who is currently constructing a house in the vicinity of the collapsed building.
