Kalyan: Panic gripped Dombivli residents on Friday night after sudden cracks developed in a 40-year-old residential building, forcing the evacuation of more than 100 people from around 25 families. The structure, identified as Seemantini Society on Gupte Road, was immediately sealed by the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) to avert any possible tragedy. According to residents, cracks were first spotted on the building's pillars and walls late in the evening on Friday. Concerned for their safety, they promptly alerted the KDMC, fire brigade, and local police.

Tiger carcass found in Sundarbans
Kolkata: A tiger was found dead in the Sundarbans on Friday — the first reported mortality of a big cat from the Indian part of the mangroves since 2021. Tiger deaths in the Sundarbans go undetected due to the challenging terrain. According to officials, the carcass was found near Bonnie Camp, a popular tourist spot in the South 24 Parganas forest division, on Friday morning by the department staff. Nisha Goswami, the divisional forest officer, said that the tiger had probably died of old age.

No external injury was found on its body. So far, it seems that the tiger had died due to old age. A post-mortem has been done and samples have been collected for histopathological and other necessary tests," said a senior official. Sources said the tiger was seen by the staff in the forest near the camp water body a few days before its death. The last tiger death officially reported from the Indian Sundarbans, as per National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) data, was that of a male tiger in May 30, 2021, at Harikhali inside the tiger reserve. The reserve-wise tiger mortality data on NTCA website revealed that between 2012 and 2024, seven tiger deaths were reported from the Sundarbans. According to sources, NTCA treats all tiger deaths as unnatural unless proven otherwise with solid evidence, such as histopathological and forensic assessments, photographs, and circumstantial evidence.
