Kanpur: Two houses at risk after drain collapse, Municipal Corporation issues notice

In Kanpur, the difficulties of the people have increased once again due to dilapidated infrastructure. A 'dot' drain located on the road from Idgah to Brahmanagar suddenly collapsed. This incident has caused panic in the surrounding areas.

Due to the collapse of the drain, the foundations of two houses built along its edge have weakened. According to the report, there is a strong possibility of these houses collapsing due to continuous soil erosion. The administration has taken immediate steps considering the seriousness of the situation.

The Municipal Corporation team inspected the site and found that the condition of the houses is quite dangerous. Following this, the Municipal Corporation has issued official notices to the concerned building owners. The notice contains instructions to vacate the houses immediately to prevent any loss of life.

Local residents say that the drain had not been repaired for a long time, which led to this situation. People have demanded that the administration strengthen the drain to avoid such incidents in the future.

Officials from the Municipal Corporation state that they are keeping a close watch on the situation. Preparations are being made to create a safety perimeter around the affected houses so that no one goes near them.

This incident highlights the poor condition of dilapidated drains and sewer lines in the old areas of the city. Such incidents often occur during the monsoon, causing significant trouble for the general public.

Currently, the affected families are faced with the compulsion to leave their homes. They have been advised by the administration to move to safer locations. A technical team from the Municipal Corporation has also been called for further action in this matter.

The administration has appealed to the people not to go near dilapidated buildings or unsafe houses built along the drain. The Municipal Corporation has assured that repair work on the drain will begin soon.
