A retaining wall of a stormwater drain at Nagarbhavi 2nd Stage, Papareddypalya, collapsed on Sunday following yet another day of heavy rain. As a result, the compound wall of a two-storey house adjoining the wall also collapsed.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) blamed the house owner for constructing the compound on the retaining wall. However, the house owner claimed that he had constructed the house as per the building plan approved by the civic body itself.
While civic officials claim that there is no immediate damage to the two-storey structure, they want to issue a notice to the building owner. The jurisdictional official told The Hindu that the building owner had been asked, albeit orally, to find alternate housing arrangements until the building was deemed safe.
