Himanchal Building collapse Seven persons, including six Army men, died.
Seven persons, including six Armymen, died and several sustained injuries after a building collapsed amid heavy rain in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. At least six persons were still feared trapped, officials said on July 15.
The rescued, who sustained several injuries, have been admitted to a hospital nearby, as teams of the NDRF, and personnel from the army, state home guard and fire department are engaged in the rescue operations.
The building located on the Nahan-Kumarhatti road housed a restaurant on the top floor. It caved in due to torrential rains in the area.
Solan Deputy Commissioner K.C. Chaman said that so far seven persons had died in the incident. “Six of them are Armymen while one is a civilian. At least six more people are feared trapped and rescue operation is under way,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Jairam Thakur visited the spot to take stock of the rescue efforts. He ordered a FIR against the restaurant owner and said that an inquiry will be carried out to ascertain the reasons behind the incident. “Rescue operations started on time, then we called NDRF too,” he said. He further added, “The reason for the collapse will be clear after the report comes out. There was surely some problem with the structure of the building.”
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
