Navdunia representative, Sehore. There are many dilapidated buildings in the urban area, which the municipality has to identify and take action to demolish by giving notice, so that during the rainy season the dilapidated buildings do not become the cause of accidents. But a big mistake of the municipality has come to light, where on Saturday the wall built between two dilapidated houses located at Charkha Line collapsed and fell on the neighbor’s house, due to which an elderly woman cooking there got buried. Immediately after the incident, the rescue team of the municipality reached the spot and started rescue work. After about seven hours of effort, the elderly woman could be taken out of the debris. After this, she was immediately sent to the hospital by ambulance. Where she was declared dead.
accident happened in the morning
According to the information, Chandrakanta Sharma, late Bhagwandas Sharma, age 85, was cooking food in her building near Charkha Line Jain Temple at 10 am. Meanwhile, the dilapidated wall of the neighbor collapsed and fell on her, due to which she got buried under the debris. On getting the information, the Nagar Palika staff reached the spot and started the rescue under the leadership of senior officials. An ambulance was also called at the spot. Due to the collapse of the wall of the dilapidated building, a crowd of people gathered nearby. It is being told that the building was dilapidated and it has been raining continuously for two days, due to which the wall of the building collapsed.
Chandrakanta lived in this building with her daughter Gudiya Sharma, who helped her in cooking. She went to another room when she needed something, when suddenly the wall fell on her. The daughter somehow managed to come out, but the elderly woman is buried under the debris. Her grandson Kartik Kubereshwar had gone to work, so he is also safe.
On receiving the information, senior officials including SDM reached the spot and the health department staff also became ready with 108. Two JCBs were called on the spot.

SDM Tanmay Verma, Tehsildar Bharat Nayak, CSP Niranjan Rajput, CMO Bhupendra Dixit, Kotwali police station in-charge Girish Dubey along with revenue and municipal staff are present on the spot.
Negligence of Napa came to the fore
At many places in the city, dilapidated buildings pose a threat to the people living there as well as the people living nearby, but before the rains, the municipal staff did not take action to identify such dilapidated buildings and issue notices to vacate and demolish the houses, due to which this accident has occurred.
No action is taken despite complaints
Many complaints are made to the Nagar Palika regarding dilapidated buildings. Aware citizens complain to the Nagar Palika about such houses in the area which can lead to some untoward incident, but the Nagar Palika does not take any action in this regard. Whereas many accidents have already happened due to dilapidated buildings.
Accidents happened here
