Kaup, Aug 11, 2026: A woman had a miraculous escape after the tiled roof of her house collapsed at Ellur late Saturday night, causing extensive damage to the property.

The house belongs to Revathi Kundar. The incident occurred around midnight when the rafters supporting the tiled roof broke, causing a large portion of the roof to collapse directly into the room where Revathi was sleeping.

Revathi sustained minor injuries in the incident, while other family members who were sleeping in different rooms escaped unhurt.

Around 75% of the house’s roof was destroyed in the collapse. The property damage is estimated at approximately Rs 3 lakh.

Following the incident, the village accountant of Ellur Gram Panchayat visited the spot and inspected the house to assess the extent of the damage.
