GUNTUR: An empty three-storey building falling in a matter of seconds in Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur on Saturday evening.

However, no casualties have been reported so far.

“The GMC had already issued notices to encroachers to remove their structures but this building owner constructed two more floors without any support and hence stern action would be taken against him,” Municipal Commissioner C. Anuradha was quoted as saying.
