20 women injured after building collapse in India

    At least 20 women were injured after a building partially collapsed in the Himachal Pradesh region of India.

    Local sources claim the women were consoling a death in the family at a property in Sudhed village, in the Kangra district, when the floor they were sitting on caved-in.

    No loss of life has been reported but it is believed seven of the women were seriously injured.

    Reports say the collapse was likely to have taken place due to heavy rainfall affecting the integrity of buildings in the area, which mostly consist of mud structures.
