Summary:

On Tuesday evening, he was relaxing on the balcony of his Pratapaditya Road house but moved in to take a medicine. Roy in turn asked the KMC parks department officials to rush to the spot and start removing the tree branches. I froze when I saw that a portion of the balcony had collapsed and a large branch had entered one of our rooms through a door. Barely 10 minutes later, parts of the balcony collapsed as the giant banyan tree opposite the house got uprooted and came crashing down.“I heard a loud thud and rushed to the balcony. I was in a fix,” said Ganguli, who has recently undergone a heart surgery.Ganguli’s wife Nandita thanked God for the close shave..
