Five-storey building collapses in Shimla, no death reported
Shimla/IBNS: In what could have been a major accident, a five-storey building collapsed amid heavy rains at Mathu Colony in Shimla's Bhattakufer area on Monday, media reports said.
No death was reported as the building, which is located near a hospital, was evacuated last night after cracks started appearing.
The initial reports suggest the cracks appeared due to the ongoing construction of a four-lane road in the area.
First rain and a multiple story building collapses in Shimla. Monsoon has just started and destruction is already here. Big question is what lessons were learnt from previous disasters or are we going to repeat the same story again? pic.twitter.com/r8tB9jZxjq
