House Collapses in Ayodhya After a Powerful Internal Explosion
Internal Blast Shakes a Residential Neighborhood in Ayodhya
A two-story house in one of Ayodhya’s residential areas collapsed after a strong explosion inside the kitchen, destroying the entire structure and scattering debris across the surrounding neighborhood. The blast caused visible damage to nearby buildings and raised concern among local residents.
The aftermath of the Ayodhya house collapse reveals extensive damage and tragic human loss.
Fragile Traditional Design Led to Total Structural Failure
The house was built using a basic structure of reinforced concrete and local brick, lacking sufficient structural reinforcement. This made it vulnerable to collapse under sudden internal pressure.Site observations indicate that the building relied on load bearing walls between the two floors, and when the explosion occurred, the internal columns buckled, causing the upper floor to cave in on the ground level.
Dense Urban Fabric Amplified the Damage
The house stood within a densely built urban area, where homes are tightly packed without expansion joints or proper ventilation gaps. This close spacing allowed the explosion’s shockwave to spread easily, leading to cracks in walls and ceilings of surrounding houses.
Emergency crews continue operations amid debris following a gas explosion that leveled the structure.
