- The bungalow had been classified C-1, a label for buildings judged highly dangerous and slated for immediate demolition by the local civic body.
- Personnel from the Regional Disaster Management Cell, a junior PWD engineer, anti-encroachment staff, a JCB and a pickup vehicle were sent to the site to clear debris and secure the area.
- Heavy machinery removed the rubble and normal traffic was restored after teams made the road safe, while the structure remains flagged for demolition and further assessment.
