Overview

• Mandir Bazar, South 24 Parganas: a mud-house wall collapsed, killing Brihaspati Karmakar, 35, and her daughters Sheela, 15, and Priya, 10, with post-mortems under way at Diamond Harbour Hospital.
• Locals linked the Bengal collapse to days of heavy rain; the family was shifting to a concrete home under the Banglar Bari scheme as PMAY transfers to the state remain suspended since 2021.
• Jaipur’s Subhash Chowk: a portion of a dilapidated multi-storey mansion gave way after rains, killing Prabhat and his daughter Pihu while five others were rescued and treated at SMS Hospital.
• Police and rescue teams said about 19 tenants lived in the Jaipur building; the JMC-H had issued vacate notices on August 13 and September 4, yet residents remained inside.
• Jaipur police opened an inquiry, the owner agreed to pay about ₹6 lakh in compensation, no FIR had been filed at reporting, and JMC-H flagged roughly 126 similar risky structures, including ten in Subhash Chowk.
