"house-collapse"

Six people, including five children and a woman, died after kutcha houses collapsed in Mumbai's Mankhurd, triggering a major rescue operation. Separate tree-fall incidents in Kurla and Aarey claimed two more lives amid heavy monsoon conditions across the city

Personnel of the NDRF, fire brigade, police, medical and the local administration were involved in the rescue work, say officials

Since the house was in a dilapidated condition, it crumbled down as the region received continuous rains, say officials

Dozens of structures including residential houses were also damaged by strong winds and hailstorm in different parts of Jammu region.

Three members of a family died on the spot when an old house collapsed on them at Nagaram in the district on Thursday.

Eyewitnesses claimed the administration team could not reach the spot in time due to lack of a proper road connecting the village.

The incident happened around 5 a.m. when the ground-plus-one storey structure in Shivaji Nagar collapsed, catching the victims unawares in sleep.
