Controlled Demolition of Old Water Tank in Morbi Damages Nearby House
A controlled demolition of a 25-year-old overhead water tank in Hirapara village, Morbi, went wrong when the structure collapsed toward a nearby house, damaging one wall. No injuries were reported. The village panchayat had planned the demolition due to concerns the derelict tank might collapse during severe weather. The sarpanch stated the tank fell in an unintended direction. Repairs to the damaged house, owned by farmer Rajni Savji Savsani, are scheduled to begin on Friday.
