Building on M.G. Road in Kochi tilts following attempt to lift it

A two-storey building on MG Road in Kochi tilted onto an adjacent multi-storey building after a hydraulic jack used during renovation work reportedly dislodged. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. on Tuesday as workers attempted to lift the building's foundation to prevent flooding during the monsoon. While the lower part of the building sustained minor damage, there were no casualties since the building was unoccupied. The foundation-lifting operation was conducted by a Chennai-based private contractor. Authorities have evacuated nearby residents and stated that the tilted building may need demolition. Engineers are expected to assess the situation on Wednesday.
