"For the last several days, cracks have appeared in some of our houses due to which we are forced to live in panic," Shashi, a local resident told ANI. "We have also complained about it but the Municipal Corporation authorities are not taking any concrete action and are only giving assurance. We are afraid that the houses may collapse," added Shashi.
Residents blame 'leaking' pipeline
The residents are blaming a leaking pipeline laid by the government under the Smart City scheme as the cause. "It has been 3-4 days. We have intimated about the same to the department, but no assistance has been provided so far. We are being forced to live in terror," said Afsha Mashroor, another local resident.
