Singtam building sinks some more

SINGTAM, 27 Jan: The ground floor of Meena Hotel building in the heart of town here which had been rendered in a precarious state by the 18 September Earthquake with its ground floor subsided, collapsed some more yesterday. This building, although obviously on the brink of collapse and posing threat to surrounding constructions had not been demolished yet.
It has now tilted even more and even more dangerously.
Locals of the area have complained to the concerned authorities about the condition of the building and complain that no steps have been initiated to demolish the building in a controlled manner.
“Why has this structure not been demolished? With the ground floor sinking even more, the entire structure can collapse at any moment. People living next to the building have shifted to dharamshalas and with relatives,” states Bandana Rai of the locality while speaking to NOW! today.
