Mangalore, June 12, 2014: Two sisters sustained injuries when the compound wall came crashing down on their house at HS Nagar, Kannur during the early hours of June 12, Thursday.
The mishap took place at around 2.30 am when the two girls and other family members were fast asleep. The siblings Sunaina (18) and Shamashad (16) were injured when a wall of the house caved in and fell over them.
As the house was located in an interior area, the girls had to be virtually carried for nearly half a kilometre upto the main road before taking them in a vehicle to Wedlock Hospital.
The father of the girls Yasin works as a labourer and the family had shifted to the rented house at Kannr just three months ago.
Local Corporator Sudhir Shetty and other MCC officials visited the spot.
