Building collapses in Bengaluru
The Hindu
Three-storey building was in Lakkasandra
A three-storey building in Lakkasandra collapsed on September 27. It was rented out to Namma Metro workers, and 15 persons stayed in the building. But, no one was inside when the building came down.
According to officials, the building was constructed in 1960 and was situated on 7th main. On September 26 night, people noticed that the building had tilted.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
