IN a second mishap within a few weeks, a 45-year-old man sustained leg injuries when a balcony in his house on the third floor of a TNUHDB housing tenement in Foreshore Estate, Srinivasapuram, collapsed on Sunday night. It may be recalled that a 22-year-old man named Syed Golam died in a sunshade collapse in the same area a few weeks ago.
According to sources, Mohana Sundaram A has been a resident of Block 148 of the complex for eight years. On Sunday night, he returned home after visiting his 12-year-old daughter who had been hospitalized. As he was standing on the balcony, the structure collapsed, throwing him to the ground. Neighbours rushed him to Royapettah Government Hospital, where he was treated for injuries in the right leg and bruises on hands and back.
