The huge Durga Puja Light Gate collapses on the Cuttack's College Square near Ravenshaw University

A gigantic decorative light goal for Durga Puja celebrations at College Square in Cuttack partially collapsed on Wednesday afternoon, according to reports under the effects of heavy rain and heavy winds. It was reported that the structure was 30 to 40 feet.

The structure, which was built with bamboo poles in front of the Ravenshaw University, had reportedly started in the morning before he had given a long time in the morning.

No victims, area cleared in advance

According to sources, no victims were reported because the area was only evacuated in advance after the police were reported by Twin City Commissionerates.

After the collapse, traffic and pedestrian movement along the busy street were restricted, and the location remains sealed until all structural components of the gate are removed.

Causes regarding the security of temporary structures

The incident has triggered questions about the construction of large decorative goals, although the warnings for the repeated Indian meteorological department (IMD) were triggered from strong precipitation due to a low -pressure system over Bay of Bengal.

Orissa's Supreme Court had previously made concerns about detailed structures built on public roads, citing risks to safety and traffic.

According to the last reports, the district administration may not receive any comments.
