Kolkata, May 18 (IBNS): At least four persons, including two women, were seriously injured when the terrace of a dilapidated building collapsed at Ripon Lane area under Park Street Police Station limits in south Kolkata on Wednesday midnight, reports said.

According to reports, a portion of roof of the nearly 200-year-old multi-storey suddenly fell down at around 1 am, leaving four of its residents injured.
