Several houses in Aligarh have also started developing cracks. Coming after buildings developed cracks in Joshimath in Uttarakhand, it has created panic among the local residents.
Rakesh Kumar Yadav, Additional Commissioner of the Aligarh Municipal Corporation, said, “We will send our team and a probe will be conducted into why this has happened.”
According to the locals, a pipeline was laid by the government under the Smart City scheme, which is now reportedly leaking, leading to the development of cracks.

Houses in the Kanwariganj area have reported cracks and leaks. “It has been 3-4 days. We have intimated about the same to the department, but no assistance has been provided so far. We are being forced to live in terror,” said Mansoor Ali, a local resident.
It may be recalled that cracks started developing in hundreds of homes earlier this month as Joshimath saw subsidence over a large area. Several families have been evacuated. Many were instructed to move into temporary relief centers or rent housing.
There are 86 houses in the area demarcated as an unsafe zone. The Joshimath district administration has put red cross marks on houses in the sinking town that are unsafe for living.
Earlier Panic heightened among the residents of Uttarakhand’s Joshimath as cracks developed in hundreds of houses and other structures due to the soil shifting in the holy town.
Many houses have reached the verge of collapse while a temple here collapsed on Friday. The only good thing is that there was no loss of life in the temple collapse. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami held a high-level meeting at the Secretariat on Friday to set up a rehabilitation center where the people of Joshimath can be shifted immediately.
