Pandal hanger collapses in Salboni ahead of CM Mamata Banerjee’s visit

Just days before Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s scheduled visit to Salboni, a major mishap occurred at the event site. The hanger of a massive pandal, being built in the Jindal area for her program, collapsed unexpectedly, stirring concerns about ongoing preparations.

Sources indicate that the Chief Minister is set to lay the foundation stone for a new power plant project initiated by the Jindal Group. In anticipation of her arrival, extensive arrangements were underway in the plant’s proposed site, including the construction of a huge pandal to host the event.

However, local eyewitnesses reported that a sudden storm swept through the area, causing the hanger structure of the pandal to collapse. Fortunately, there were no reports of injury at the time of the incident, but the situation triggered a rush among organizers to assess the damage and restart the setup.

With the Chief Minister’s visit looming, organizers are racing against time to rebuild the stage and reinforce safety measures. Contractors and workers have been directed to expedite work while ensuring that all structures can withstand any further weather disturbances.

Officials connected to the project assured that new materials would be used, and the pandal would be re-erected with extra precaution. Emergency teams have also been stationed at the site to handle any future mishaps swiftly.

Despite the setback, the administration remains determined to ensure that Mamata Banerjee’s visit and the foundation laying ceremony for the Jindal Group’s ambitious project proceed as planned without further disruptions.
