The roof and wall of a Canara Bank building collapsed in the Chhata area of Agra on Thursday, officials said.

The incident occurred amid construction work in adjacent buildings, and authorities are checking the premises for safety.

There were no immediate reports of injuries in the incident.

Authorities said that the concerned teams reached the spot after receiving information about the incident.

"Information was received about 45 minutes to an hour ago that some work was going on in the basement here in Belanganj, and some building is under construction here. So, the adjacent building where Canara Bank was functioning, which was already in a dilapidated condition, suddenly collapsed," an official told ANI.

"No information about any casualties has been received yet. Still, as a precaution, we are checking the cameras to see if anyone was inside. The bank has confirmed that all its employees have safely come out. So far, there are no such concerns or information," the official added.

Thank God everyone is safe. But this is a classic example of how we neglect maintenance until it's too late. Hope the authorities fix this before it becomes a tragedy. 🙏

Construction work next door caused this? Sounds like poor planning as usual. Also, why was a bank operating in a dilapidated building? Safety audits kahan hai? 😤

Relieved that the bank staff were able to get out safely. It's a wake-up call for all old buildings in our cities. Time for a structural audit drive in Agra.

Every time I read news like this, I think of the poor people in old havelis and apartments in our cities. We need stricter enforcement of building codes. Lucky that no one was inside the bank at that time.

Canara Bank should have relocated earlier if they knew the building was in such bad shape. Waiting for it to collapse is just negligence. Good that no one is hurt though.

This is so scary. Imagine if it had happened during banking hours when customers were inside! 😰 Hope the authorities learn from this and start inspecting other old buildings in the area.
