Green Nets Collapse Hours After Installation at Besa Square Nagpur: Green shade nets installed at Besa Square collapsed within hours of being set up on Wednesday, sparking concerns over construction quality and public safety. The nets, part of an initiative by the Besa Pipla Nagar Panchayat, were intended to shield commuters from the intense heat. By morning, the installation was complete on all four sides of the square, including the busy Manewada Road stretch. However, by afternoon, a section on the Manewada Road side gave way, briefly disrupting traffic. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Workers were already reinstalling the structure shortly after the incident, according to reports. The collapse has led to a debate over its cause, with residents and authorities offering conflicting explanations. Locals blamed strong, dusty winds and alleged poor workmanship, claiming the nets were loosely secured and unable to withstand pressure. "They had just installed it in the morning, and by afternoon, it came crashing down. The winds were strong, but such structures should withstand normal conditions. This points to poor execution," said shopkeeper Vivek Ganvir. Officials, however, denied faulty installation. Chief officer Bharat Nandanwar stated that a truck had hit one of the bamboo support poles, causing the structure to collapse, and the vehicle fled the scene. The incident has raised questions about the durability of such installations in high-traffic areas. With similar structures planned at Manish Magar T-point, residents have urged authorities to ensure sturdier fittings to prevent future mishaps. The collapse highlights the challenges of implementing temporary infrastructure in urban settings, where weather conditions and human error can compromise safety.#besa_pipla_nagar_panchayat #bharat_nandanwar #besa_square #manewada_road #vivek_ganvir
