Power Outage Follows Building Collapse During Drain Work

During drainage work on Sakipur Road, a JCB excavator removed earth that destabilised a partially built two‑storey structure in Tilpata, causing it and an adjoining shop to collapse. The impact snapped a live electricity pole, plunging the surrounding neighbourhood into darkness. Fortunately, the area was empty, so there were no injuries. Police arrived quickly, cordoned the site, and launched a preliminary fact‑finding mission while power crews work to restore electricity.
