Mangalore, Jun 5: A wall next to Mahendra Arcade, Karangalpady collapsed due to heavy rains on the intervening night between Monday June 4 and Tuesday June 5.
Construction work for a new road was in progress. It was a two-month project and had just begun a week ago. Foundation work was already done and the side pillars were ready to be installed.
Due to heavy rain, one of the support walls collapsed, hence hindering the construction work. The water pipeline has been cut off and the water is flowing towards the foundation pit, which in turn has been a big problem to the contractors, said one of them.
