In a tragic incident in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh on Monday night, three members of the same family lost their lives, and five others were injured. In Barahpan village, the family members were asleep inside their home after having dinner. Suddenly, the two-story, mud-built house collapsed, trapping all eight individuals beneath the debris.
Those who lost their lives have been identified as Arun Vishwakarma (36), his mother Santuliya (65), and his two-year-old daughter. Upon hearing the sound of the collapse, villagers rushed to the scene and began rescue efforts. With the assistance of the administrative team, those trapped under the debris were pulled out.
A wall had already developed a crack, yet the family could not be saved.
According to police officials, a wall of the house had already developed a crack, and noises were being heard coming from it. The family was aware of the danger, but the entire house collapsed before repairs could be undertaken the following day. The home was a two-story structure built using traditional mud-based construction.
A female family member, Belamati, and her four children were trapped under the debris; neighbors managed to pull them out. Meanwhile, Arun Vishwakarma and other family members remained trapped inside the house and were unable to escape. Five injured undergoing treatment in hospital
The five individuals injured in the incident have been identified as Belamati, Sudarshan Vishwakarma, Roshni, Deepak, and Ajay Vishwakarma. Among them is Deepak, the son of Arun. All the injured were pulled out and admitted to a government hospital in Baidhan as well as a private hospital, where they are currently undergoing treatment.
Upon receiving information about the incident, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and police officials arrived at the scene. Throughout the night, rescue teams worked to clear the debris to ensure that no one else remained trapped underneath. The administration is providing necessary assistance to the affected family.
Local officials have highlighted the need to pay special attention to the safety of ‘kaccha’ (makeshift/non-permanent) houses in such settlements. As of now, the state government has not announced any ex-gratia payment for the family. The police are investigating the causes of the incident.
