Hyderabad: The GHMC Town Planning Department has initiated works for bringing down the four-storey building at Bahadurpura that started tilting and posed a risk to local people.
The structure located at Housing Board colony Bahadurpura started tilting four days ago after some work was taken up in the cellar for constructing a water sump.
On Saturday night as it leaned dangerously onto the apartment nearby, the GHMC and enforcement and vigilance teams visited the site on Sunday.
