Cuttack Buildings Declared Unsafe, High Court Orders Demolition

In Cuttack, India, many old buildings are falling apart and are dangerous to live in.

The government says 221 buildings are unsafe.

The court has told the owners to leave and plans to tear them down in stages, starting with the most dangerous ones.

Some people have left already, but others are still staying.

The court is also upset that people aren't following the rules and has asked for a progress report to ensure the buildings are demolished.
