According to information gathered at the scene, the erosion had been worsening over time due to uncontrolled water flow from the road’s drainage system. Continuous runoff gradually weakened the soil around the homestead, eventually causing the ground beneath the house to give way.
Residents said the collapse happened suddenly, leaving the family with no time to salvage their belongings. Most household items were destroyed when the structure sank into the deep erosion channel, leaving the family stranded without shelter.
Concerned community members have called on relevant authorities to urgently intervene, both to assist the affected family and to address the drainage problem before it poses further danger to nearby homes.
The incident has once again highlighted the growing problem of soil erosion in residential areas, particularly where road drainage systems are poorly managed. Local leaders are expected to assess the situation and explore possible relief measures for the displaced family.
