Two buildings collapse in India
Two building collapses in New Delhi and Tamil Nadu states killed at least 22 people on Saturday and left dozens trapped, highlighting the need for increased monitoring of construction across India where such incidents are common.
Ten people including five children were killed in New Delhi after a 50-year-old apartment block with 14 occupants collapsed early on Saturday, a police spokesman said.
"Building collapse in Delhi brings forth need to adhere to safety requirements," tweeted Vijay Goel, a lawmaker from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party that controls the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. (Reuters)
