Times of India · india

A portion of the veranda at Nagpur's 135-year-old Old High Court, a protected heritage monument, collapsed on Monday afternoon due to the failure of wooden scaffolding. The incident occurred while a restoration project worth Rs16.92 crore is underway, though no work was happening at the affected site. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This collapse raises concerns about the building's structural integrity and the project's timeline, potentially necessitating further assessments and delays.
