TN: 11 dead after wall collapses in Thiruvallur
Chennai, July 6 (IBNS): At least 11 people died after a compound wall of a godown collapsed in Tamil Nadu's Thiruvallur district on Sunday, reports said.
According to reports, one person has been rescued alive from the debris while many are feared trapped.
Tamil Nadu Fire services teams have reached the accident site and are involved in rescue work.
