A 90 m tall tower was demolished in western India’s Gujarat as a precautionary measure ahead of Cyclone Biparjoy.
The incident took place in Dwarka on June 13.
Visuals showed a group of individuals attempting to pull down a tall tower located in an open field, exerting tremendous force to uproot it from the ground. After a brief period of intense effort, the tower gives way, breaking free from its foundation and dramatically collapsing to the ground.
Due to cyclone Biparjoy, several parts of Gujarat had already suffered significant loss of life. To prevent further damage in the future, the decision was made to demolish the Doordarshan tower.
Keeping the well-being of the people in mind, the Gujarat government demolished the tower and intends to reconstruct it in the future.
