Four injured as Prestige group’s 15-storeyed structure collapses
BANGALORE: Four persons were injured and another 100 construction workers had a providential escape when a part of a 15-storeyed concrete structure under construction of the Prestige group crashed at Whitefield here on Thursday.

The block which collapsed is part of the 20 blocks under construction by Prestige in a joint venture with Shantiniketan. The top floor slab which collapsed first was laid only a few days ago.

The police told The Hindu that the accident occurred around 5 p.m. when a small portion of the top floor collapsed resulting in the slab of the floor below it collapsing in a short while. Owing to sheer weight, the slabs of the lower floors collapsed subsequently, all in a span of 50 minutes, although the embedded steel rods prevented the slabs from falling in a heap...

Two employees of construction firm arrested
BANGALORE: Work on tracking down whether any construction worker is trapped or was killed when a part of the 15-storeyed Prestige Shanthiniketan building under construction at Whitefield collapsed here on Thursday is yet to get under way.

Director-General and Inspector-General of Police R. Sri Kumar, who has been closely monitoring the developments, told The Hindu that “as of now there appears to be no death or even any person missing. We have videographed the entire structure and this should throw some light on whether any person has been trapped or killed. A full-fledged investigation is on.” ...

Arrested: The Kadugodi police acting on a complaint of the jurisdictional executive engineer of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (Mahadevapura Sub-Division), arrested Ravi Hoskoti, vice-president and in-charge of the project, and Nanda Kishore, commercial project in-charge. Both are employees of the Malaysian construction company, IJM...

one of my friend told me about it. i couldnt believe that.
is it shoddy construction or something else ? i hope they do inquiry and find out the reason behind the mishap.
i would prefer them to tear down the whole thing and rebuild it, but i doubt they will do it...

Progress looks good. No doubt it'll be stunning when it's finished. Love the fact that Bangalore is getting a bunch of Commercial high-rises soon.

BANGALORE: Tower ‘C' of Prestige Shantiniketan, a township project on a 105-acre campus in Whitefield, came down crashing on Thursday evening. All
the 14 floors of a portion of the tower collapsed. Four workers were injured.

Around 4.20 pm, one corner of the roof started to give in. Six floors of the block crashed suubsequently; the entire portion collapsed within the next half hour.

About 60 workers working on the rooftop, removing the centring structure, ran to safety when the crash occurred.

Fire force joint director B G Chengappa, who visited the spot, said the exact reason for the crash had to be ascertained by structural engineers.

Prestige Group chairman Irfan Razack said there were no casualties, nor was any worker injured. IJM, a Malaysian infrastructure company, were the contractors for the project. Asked about the cause of the crash, he said: "We believe a concrete slab that was being laid fell, and that then had a cascading effect. While I don't think there's any structural problem, we will evaluate all possibilities that could have led to this."

The fire force could not launch a full-fledged rescue operation for two and a half hours because of the gradual collapse.

Even after all the 14 floors had crashed, raising a cloud of cement, rescue could not begin because of reduced visibility. Light evening showers further delayed the process. Later, the fire force abandoned the operation following assurances from the promoters that there were no workers in the building at the time of the crash.

A project officer from the Prestige Group informed the police that one person was missing. Four workers who were at the bottom of the tower sustained injuries. They were taken to Vaidehi Hospital.
fire incident now.
