Summary
- An alleged unauthorised eight-storey building collapsed in Gachibowli, Hyderabad.
- Two individuals lost their lives, and two others sustained injuries in the incident.
- The building was reportedly constructed on a small plot without necessary permissions.
A tragic incident occurred in Hyderabad's Gachibowli area when an alleged unauthorised eight-storey building collapsed on Saturday afternoon. The disaster claimed the lives of at least two people, with two others sustaining injuries from falling debris.
Rescue operations commenced immediately, involving teams from HYDRAA, NDRF, fire services, and the police. The collapsed structure was reportedly built on a plot measuring only 50 to 60 square yards, with officials suspecting it was constructed over a drain without proper permissions.
Authorities had previously seized the building approximately six months ago following a complaint. However, construction reportedly resumed the day before the collapse. An investigation into other buildings allegedly owned by the same individual is underway.
