The building was on Ibrahim Sahib Street in Shivajinagar
A 138-year-old building on Ibrahim Sahib Street in Shivajinagar, which was deemed unsafe, was razed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Saturday.
According to Iqbal Ahmed, who lived in the building that was constructed in 1883, there was a time when nearly 60 people lived in the heritage structure. “Over a period of time, many people moved out. There still were seven families living in the building, which also housed a total of six shops,” he said.
Following heavy rains last week, a portion of the house collapsed. This prompted the BBMP to issue a notice, apart from putting up a poster outside the structure cautioning the public about the dangerous building that could collapse any time.
