Residents of the two buildings who were evacuated just hours before the entire road at Sangharsh Nagar caved in on Tuesday, moved back into their homes on Tuesday night and refused to leave unless the civic body provides them with permanent accommodation. Owing to the precarious condition of the two buildings, the civic officials of L ward are now trying to accommodate the 200 families in another vacant building nearby.

Due to the heavy rainfall in the city, huge cracks appeared in an internal road of an SRA settlement for project affected persons in Sangharsh Nagar in the late hours of July 1. Within the next few hours, the entire road along with a portion of the adjoining private plot which belonged to Shahpoorji Pallonji Developers caved in during the early hours of Tuesday. While no one was injured, civic officials evacuated more than 1000 people after they received reports of the cracks appearing on the road.
