A stern lightning today caused an extensive crack between two residential buildings located in the old city area of Udaipur. However no casualty has been reported but due to this mishap locals of the area are much afraid.

It was in the morning at around 10:30a.m. when it started raining in the city with roaring of cloud, a flash of lightning extensively torned the wall between houses of Bansi Lal Sahu and Amrit Lal Moti located at Jogiwara, Nehru Bazar.

Approximately a crack of 3 inch sliced the concrete wall between both the houses. Bansi Lal who is a shopkeeper in Mandi has immediately shifted with his family to his relative’s house nearby.

A team of Municipal Corporation has reached the spot for investigation. Ward no. 43 councilor Krishankant Kumawat who inspected the site said, “though both buildings are looking safe but if the crack gets wider in coming months we advice the housekeepers to repair it urgently.”

According to the reports, both the buildings were constructed 35 years back. Bansilal said, “When we heard the sound of lightning we got scared and assumed that it might fall somewhere nearby, but later we came to know that we were in actual the victims to the lightning.”
