NEW DELHI, Sept 6, (Xinhua): At least two persons died and several others were injured when a decades-old building collapsed in India's western state of Rajasthan late on Friday night, confirmed a local cop over the phone on Saturday. The deceased were identified as a father-daughter duo. The incident took place in the Subhash Chowk area of Rajasthan's capital city Jaipur.
Most of the dead hailed from the eastern state of West Bengal and were living on rent inside the ill-fated building. According to media reports, the old building had weakened due to incessant rains over the past few days and finally collapsed, as a result of which several persons were trapped under its debris. Rescue work continued through the night, and the injured were admitted to a local hospital.
