Cracks in Lucknow Building Lead to Evacuation Amid Structural Concerns
A five-storey residential building in Lucknow's Baaroodkhana area developed cracks in two to three ground-floor pillars, prompting the evacuation of 24-25 families. Officials suspect recent heavy rains and possible structural issues due to unauthorized additional floors beyond the sanctioned three floors. The Lucknow Development Authority is investigating the extent of violations and working with other agencies to stabilize the building. No injuries have been reported, and residents were assisted in safely removing their belongings.
