Hyderabad, April 30 -- Citizens can now report dilapidated and dangerous buildings that pose a public safety risk and a potential risk to life by calling HYDRAA's helpline number at 9000113667.

HYDRAA is taking proactive measures to identify old and structurally weak buildings and ensure their safe demolition to prevent accidents, the agency stated in a release on Thursday, April 30.

This applies not just to buildings in residential areas but also to places with heavy foot traffic.

This initiative has been undertaken in the wake of a recent incident in Bengaluru, where a compound wall collapsed near Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in Shivajinagar, following heavy rains, resulting in seven deaths and several injuries.
