Mangalore, July 26: The 120-year-old building located at Bhavanthi Street collapsed in yesterday’s rain at around 10:30 p.m.
The building belongs to Madhav Hegde and Ananth Hegde, who had requested the DC to permit them to demolish it in 1999; however, they did not get the required permission.
The building is currently in a pathetic condition and residents are afraid that it might fall on them any moment.
A milk booth located next to the building has been completely damaged, causing a financial loss of Rs. 2 lakh.
