Pandal Collapses at Kondagattu Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Karimnagar
Karimnagar, Telangana – A sudden structural failure at the Kondagattu Anjaneya Swamy Temple left four to five devotees injured on Wednesday, authorities confirmed. The incident occurred when a temporary pandal, set up for temple visitors, collapsed unexpectedly. Police officials attributed the accident to strong winds sweeping through the area.
Karimnagar police confirmed, “The collapse was due to a huge gust of air, causing minor scratches.” No major injuries reported.” Thankfully, no life-threatening injuries were reported, though several devotees sustained minor cuts and bruises while trying to escape the falling structure.
Eyewitnesses said the pandal, which had been erected to shelter devotees during temple prayers, gave way in an instant. The suddenness of the collapse left many startled, but temple staff quickly assisted the injured and called emergency services.
Temple officials rushed to the scene immediately, coordinating with local authorities to ensure safety and assist the injured. The police are currently investigating the exact cause of the pandal’s collapse, but initial reports indicate that the strong wind was the primary factor.
“The collapse was due to a huge gust of air, causing minor scratches. No major injuries reported,” reiterated the police, emphasizing that the situation could have been far worse if more devotees had been present in the pandal at that time.
Authorities have also advised visitors to remain cautious during sudden weather changes. Safety measures are being reassessed at the temple premises, particularly for temporary structures used during events or festivals.
As of now, further details on the condition of the injured devotees and any corrective measures by the temple management are awaited. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety precautions, especially during unpredictable weather conditions.
