A Photo24bhu advertisement hoarding fell down its second tier, prompting a quick response from local authorities.
A large outdoor advertisement for Photo24bhu collapsed on its second level, according to a report by The Times of India. The incident was observed by passers‑by who alerted nearby officials. No reports of injuries have been confirmed at the time of writing.
Local municipal workers arrived at the site shortly after the collapse to cordon off the area and assess structural damage. The hoarding, which was positioned on a multi‑tiered frame, appears to have suffered a failure in its supporting structure, leading to the fall of the upper section.
Authorities have opened an inquiry to determine the cause of the failure and to ensure compliance with safety regulations for outdoor advertising. The owner of the hoarding has been asked to submit maintenance records, and the site will remain closed until it is deemed safe.
The incident underscores growing concerns about the safety of large‑scale billboards in busy urban locations, prompting calls for stricter oversight and regular inspections.
