Pune:
Thirteen labourers were killed and several others trapped when a
slab of an upcoming college building collapsed in a village here
Tuesday, police said.
The incident took place in Lonikand village, around 30 km from
Pune city, where a new building of an ayurvedic medical college
was being constructed.
"Many labourers were working on the fourth floor of the building
when a slab gave way. We had initially pulled out bodies of four
labourers. The toll has gone up to 13 now," a police official told
IANS.
"Rescue operations are still underway and we are checking if there
are more people trapped under the debris. However, most of them
have been pulled out. One other labourer under treatment is in
critical condition," he added.
However, the identities of those killed have not been ascertained
yet.
