Two
persons were killed and four others suffered severe injuries after a
three-storey building collapsed on the main road here late on Wednesday
night. All the victims belong to a family.
A Anjaneyulu,
building owner, runs a provisions store on the ground floor while his
family occupies the remaining floors of the building. Anjaneyulu closed
the store and went upstairs on Wednesday night. A few hours later the
entire building caved in resulting in the death of Anjaneyulu and his
grandson Yaswanth.
Police and fire services teams rescued the
other family members after four hours of rescue operation. The injured,
Anjaneyulu's wife, son, daughter-in-law, and another grandson, were
rushed to hospital. Eyewitnesses said the building suddenly caved in and
the inmates were trapped in the debris. Yaswanth was found dead while
Anjaneyulu died on the way to hospital.
Incidentally, the civic
body issued notices to the owners of old buildings recently to demolish
them as they posed threat to life. It is not clear whether Anjaneyulu
received the notice.
