Collaps of an Illegal construction has taken the life of two
Two laborers were killed and two seriously injured after a portion of a four-storey building at Rashbehari Avenue in south Kolkata collapsed.
The Kolkata Municipality has informed that the portion that collapsed was constructed illegally. The Municipality also said that the owner of that property in Kolkata has extended the original single-storey building into a four-storey commercial building and constructed three toilets on each floor.
In August, 2011, a notice was served on the owner who paid a portion of the Rs 46-lakh penalty. But the plan was not sanctioned and the owner did not demolish the toilets. The owner allegedly carried out other construction work without KMC’s authorization and also installed an elevator in the building.
One of two critically injured was taken to SSKM hospital while another was taken to Chittaranjan National Medical College. Both succumbed to their injuries in hospital.
The Municipal authority said that KMC will lodge a complaint against the owner of the building.
