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.

Engineers are expected to assess the situation on Wednesday.
