Watch: Narrow escape for woman as 300-year-old building collapses in balasore

A two-storey building in Damodarpur, Balasore partially collapsed due to heavy rainfall and weakened structure. This nearly 300-year-old building had historical connections with Fakir Mohan Senapati, an Odia writer and litterateur. People from the family of Bachu Keshab Rao occupied the building over generations and still resided in part of it. Fortunately, there were no injuries or casualties from the incident that blocked a local road.
