Portion of the wall of pedestrian ramp collapses at KRS reservoir

CNNL official says the ramp was not connected to the main structure of the dam
A portion of the pedestrian ramp’s wall at KRS dam was found collapsed. Situated a couple of metres away from the main structure of KRS reservoir, the sloping pedestrian ramp leading to the Brindavan Gardens is separated from the body of the dam by another ramp for vehicles. Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited (CNNL) officials, who were at the spot, sought to allay fears over the safety of the dam due to the collapse, which incidentally comes in the wake of a raging debate over threat to KRS reservoir from illegal stone quarrying in the vicinity. A senior CNNL official said the pedestrian ramp was in no way connected to the main structure of the dam. “It is 11.5 metres away from the body of the dam,” the official said, emphasizing that the collapsed portion of the wall would have no impact on the dam.
