Kolkata: A woman, Brihaspati Karmakar, and her two daughters, Sheela Karmakar (15), Priya Karmakar (10), were killed when the wall of a mud house they were residing in, collapsed on them at Mandirbazar on Friday.
Locals said the family was sanctioned funds under the ‘Amar Bari' housing project, but construction of their new home was delayed. In the meantime, they continued to live in an old mud structure, which weakened due to days of heavy rain.
Local MLA Joydeb Haldar visited the bereaved family and extended his support. — Monotosh Chakraborty
