Family woken up by sound of house falling apart in Bengaluru rains
The Hindu
The house is in Ulsoor
A 50-year-old house on Milkman Street, near Lido Mall in Ulsoor, collapsed following overnight rain in Bengaluru on November 18-19.
No one was injured.
There were four persons in the house. They woke up around 5 a.m. to some unusual sounds, like the house was falling apart. They immediately stepped outside. "Within minutes, the house collapsed," says Shankar, the house-owner adding, "Besides heavy rains, there was strong winds outside."
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
