NEW DELHI – A residential building that was due for repairs collapsed in central India early Monday, killing at least 10 people and trapping many others, officials said.
Around 20-25 people are feared to be trapped under the rubble of the four-story building in Maharashtra state that collapsed at around 4 a.m., said India’s National Disaster Response Force.
Building collapses are common in India during the June-September monsoon season, when heavy rains weaken the foundations of structures that are poorly constructed or old.
