Pune wall collapse: 15 people die
Pune, June 29 (IBNS): At least 15 people were killed as a wall of a housing society collapsed in Pune on Friday midnight, media reports said.
The collapse occurred amid heavy rainfall in the area.
According to media reports, the wall collapsed on the slum.
The deceased reportedly include two children.
An National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team has reached the site where the mishap took place.
“The workers were part of a camp of an under construction site,” Pune district collector Naval Kishore Ram told Hindustan Times.
“Wall collapsed due to heavy rains. Prima facie, builder seems to be at fault as he set labour camp right adjacent to the wall,” he said.
