A dramatic incident unfolded late on Tuesday night at Nandini Layout Krishnananda Nagar Circle in Bangalore, where a massive 40-foot cutout of Rama toppled over. The giant Rama cutout had been erected during the Ayodhya Pran Prathistha ceremony and was not removed by the BBMP afterward. The incident occurred near the Krishnananda Nagar Circle, raising concerns about public safety. Fortunately, there were no vehicles in the vicinity when the colossal cutout collapsed, averting a potential tragedy. The cutout had been standing for three days before the incident. Upon receiving the information, senior officials promptly visited the site to inspect the situation. Initial assessments by the police suggest that strong winds might have caused the cutout to fall. Authorities are investigating whether the installation of the cutout had proper permissions and are reviewing CCTV footage to understand the circumstances leading to its collapse. The incident highlights the importance of ensuring the secure installation and maintenance of large structures in public spaces to prevent such mishaps and potential hazards.
