Bengaluru: In Marutiseva Nagar near Banasawadi, four houses adjacent to 'Ambience Downtown' have cracked and collapsed as the foundation was dug without following the overall safety measures.
Due to lack of safety measures in the construction of the apartment, the adjacent buildings are cracked and if there is a collapse, there is a possibility of damage. Therefore, the BBMP has issued a notice to the owners of four houses on December 6 saying that they should move out of this building. However, even after that, the construction work was carried out by the apartment owners in a natural way, and the buildings were cracked and leaning on one side.
'Ambience Downtown has not followed any safety measures to construct a residential complex on Visveswaraiah Street, Banasawadi Main Road, Maruti Sevanagar. The foundation of this building is excavated far below the foundation level of the rear and adjacent buildings, excavated to the edge of the site. Therefore, the adjacent buildings have cracked," said the Assistant Executive Engineer of Marutisevanagar sub-division of BBMP in the notice given by him.
Apart from telling the residents of the houses to leave, the apartment builders have not made any safety measures. They threw us out of the house. No matter how many requests we made to the BBMP engineers to provide us with a solution, they are not responding. P. Rajasekhar, the owner of the 10th property, who received the house shifting notice, complained that although the Additional Director of the Urban Planning Department appealed to the Chief Commissioner on January 6, no action was taken. Radhabai and Parashuram are living elsewhere from the cracked house.
AEE, EE of BBMP Marutisevanagar sub-division, who have vacated the house after giving a notice, did not comment on the building.
Leaning daily...
BBMP has said in the notice that no safety measures have been taken. However, no action has been taken. The buildings of the houses are about 5.5 cm. More and more every day and fear of falling at any occasion. Take action about this first, because both the apartment owners and the BBMP are not listening," said Srikanth S. Channal, president of the Bangalore Center of the Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India) complained.
Notice has been issued...
The 'Ambience Downtown' apartments have been instructed to construct a retaining wall and repair the damage to neighboring buildings. We have also warned of legal action if the instruction is not followed. There is no information about the buildings. The local engineer, urban planning officials will be informed and action will be taken," said Girish, Additional Director, Urban Planning Department, BBMP.
