Quick action by the disaster management department and the fire brigade helped bring the situation under control and prevented any injuries.
The incident took place around 3 pm near Karve Hospital in Bhaskar Colony, as reported by Midday. A metal sheet from the four-storey Tapovan Society was blown off due to the wind and came to rest precariously over the shed of the neighbouring two-storey Deepprabha building.
