Now the pit area has increased and the construction work is going on. Apart from staying the work the court had directed the Ranchi Deputy Commissioner and Municipal Commissioner to file an affidavit in the matter within three weeks. The society through their petition said the court that after builder VKS Reality dug a 35 feet pit adjacent to the land of their apartment on Morabadi-Boedya Road, the entrance wall suddenly collapsed and a car parked there fell into a 35 feet pit on January 23.
