As per the South municipal authorities, no casualty or damage to cars was reported. SDMC standing committee chairman Colonel (retd) BK Oberoi said that he was in touch with the engineering department over the incident and no vehicles had been damaged.

"No portion of the building has collapsed as such. It's just that some side wooden panels in the multi level car parking came off while an individual was trying to park his car, which got wrongly swung causing the panels to fall," said Oberoi.
