Chennai Silk Show Room inferno….
After battling a 38-hr blaze, the Chennai Silks will be brought down, this is how it’ll happen
The demolition process is expected to take three days.
What was once one of the tallest buildings in Chennai’s North Usman Road – the commercial hub of the city- is now a smouldering ruin of iron and steel.
The fire that was raging in the Chennai Silks building for 38 hours was finally put out by firefighters at around 8.30pm on Thursday. The seven-storey building is a shell of what it once was. Four floors caved in, ravaged by the fire, while the façade has been destroyed by flames, smoke and firefighters, who used every possible means to contain the blaze. What remains of the Chennai Silks showroom stands dangerously on this arterial, crowded stretch, that is home to silk sarees, and gold jewellery.
The demolition process began on Friday morning, once the state government gave the nod to demolishing the Chennai Silks building, which had violated several norms. The process which will be spread out over the course of three days, is being carried out by the Chennai Corporation, Public Works Department, technical experts from IIT and Parveen Traders, a private entity.
