Old Bowbazar building collapses again

A part of an old building in Kolkata's Bowbazar area collapsed on Sunday, injuring one person.

The building is located above a Metro route and has been experiencing vibrations due to passing trains.

Residents had reported these vibrations to the Metro authorities, but no action was taken.

The building was old and had rusted iron rods that caused the collapse.

This is not the first time such an incident has happened in the area, as similar collapses have occurred since 2019 during Metro construction.

Officials assure that there is no need to panic and that the building will be repaired.
