Land subsidence causes cracks in hospital in Jharkhand's Giridih
The incident took place in Baniyadih village in the Mufassil police station area, which is within the command area of Central Coalfields Limited (CCL)
Multiple cracks recently appeared in a hospital building located in Giridih district, Jharkhand, on Tuesday morning, August 25, 2026. This occurred due to land subsidence in the region, according to an official. The incident happened in Baniyadih village, within the Mufassil police station area and the command area of Central Coalfields Limited (CCL).
Thankfully, no one was injured in this event. The CCL Area General Manager, K.S. Gaiwal, informed that officials arrived at the scene following reports of the subsidence. They took immediate measures to ensure that people and animals were kept away from the affected zone.
The management plans to continuously monitor the area over the next few days to determine if the subsidence is worsening or decreasing. Once this assessment is complete, further action will be determined, according to Gaiwal.
It was also reported that a few staff members were inside the hospital at the time of the incident, though there were no patients present as the area had experienced land subsidence previously.
