Report Unsafe Buildings; Call HYDRAA Helpline 9000113667
HYDRAA has urged citizens to report dilapidated and dangerous buildings that pose a risk to life and public safety by calling 9000113667.
In a statement issued on Thursday, HYDRAA stated that it is taking proactive measures to identify old and structurally weak buildings and ensure their safe demolition to prevent accidents. The appeal covers not only residential areas but also places with high public movement.
The advisory comes in the wake of a recent incident in Bengaluru, where a compound wall collapse near Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in Shivajinagar, following heavy rains, resulted in seven deaths and several injuries. Similar incidents involving old structures have occurred in Hyderabad in the past.
To prevent such tragedies, HYDRAA is strengthening its monitoring system and is already coordinating with municipal corporations for inputs on unsafe structures.
Citizens are encouraged to actively participate by sharing information about such buildings. They can send the location details, along with photographs and live location, to the helpline number for immediate action.
HYDRAA emphasized that the risk from old buildings is not limited to the monsoon season. With unseasonal rains occurring, such dangers can arise at any time, and timely reporting is critical.
The agency also assured that the identity of individuals providing information will be kept confidential.
