Heavy Rain Wall Collapse Damages Homes in Sattari

A wall collapse, triggered by continuous heavy rain, struck Budruk Karmali in Sattari's Savordem panchayat on Thursday evening. The incident occurred around 6:50 PM near the Govt Primary School, impacting two adjacent residences. Sustained moisture weakened the structure, leading to its collapse onto neighbouring properties. Damage to one house was estimated at Rs 50,000, while the adjacent property sustained significant damage valued at approximately Rs 2 lakh.

Two rooms and a kitchen were severely affected, with numerous household items destroyed. Valpoi fire station personnel promptly arrived at the scene, undertaking debris removal and implementing safety measures. Their operation concluded around 8:15 PM, during which they also aided in salvaging usable belongings. Savorde panchayat member Ujjwala Gaonkar visited the site and assured the affected families that steps would be taken to secure immediate government aid. A preliminary damage report will be submitted by the fire station, and residents urged the revenue department to expedite the panchnama for compensation under the natural disaster relief scheme.
