Mangaluru: Precariously poised water tank poses danger at central market


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Jul 9: The work of demolishing the central market building here has been pending for the last one and half months because of a stay order granted by the state high court.

The workers have left a water tank located at the roof that is tiling, and standing on the support of a fragile roof, as it is when stopping work. The tank now is filled with rainwater and therefore poses more risk. A few street vendors do business below the tank, and if it falls on them, they will definitely be in danger. A person who took a snap of the tank, has tried to alert the concerned to the danger posed by it.

The city corporation had started to demolish the central market building on May 26. The work went on for two days. On the third day, a stay order was issued by the high court, which brought the work to a grinding halt.

Mayor Premananda Shetty, said that the city corporation has approached the high court with a request to vacate the stay. He said that this application is likely to be examined on Friday July 9.

    Not just the tank.. look around the market.. there are some slabs of half destroyed concrete hanging by a few rods of metal. Now this is all because of the stay imposed on the demolition of the structure.. or by now the entire market would be demolished. Absolute waste of time and money..

    Why can't the corporator hire a crane and lower the tank???? or pull it with 'donti' when no vendors are sitting bellow the tank. Also have thought of the loose stones above the half demolished building (around that tank). This is what our government working style.
