Bengaluru's Burj Khalifa, a five-story structure on a 250-square-foot plot.

The fall of the Babusapalya building in Bengaluru revealed the real nature of the city's illicit residential apartment development activity. The civic organization began spotting hazardous buildings on minor thoroughfares. One such small structure, which was constructed to five stories in just 250 square feet, astounded everyone and went popular on social media.

The building was reportedly in the city's Nanjappa Gardens and had already been razed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). In accordance with civic customs, the owner was served the notices and ordered to remove the rubbish. 

The Bengaluru structure was mockingly referred to on social media as a rival to Mumbai's Antila, home of the Ambani family, and Dubai's Burj Khalifa. Someone commented, "One on right is Antilia's competition - Liftillia" "There are thousands of such buildings in Bangalore," another person commented. 

Beside our apartment wall building, a new structure is being built without the necessary permits. Bangalore's illicit construction activities can only be prevented by God.

Nine people were killed in Wednesday's collapse of the Babusapalya building, which happened while the city was experiencing a severe downpour. The incident also revealed the civic indifference in the tech metropolis. BBMP officials were instructed by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar to take decisive action against unauthorized builders in the city.
