Ludhiana, August 12
At least 10 persons, including two children, were injured when a multi-storey building of RT Woollen Mills on RK Road here collapsed on Thursday morning. Seven persons got serious injuries and were rushed to a local hospital.
The debris of the building fell on the quarters of labourers on the adjoining plot, leaving 10 injured. A portion of the structure also fell on adjoining two more buildings, including a godown shed.
Some of the injured received head injuries and fractures, said eye-witnesses. Relatives of the injured have urged the government to provide them free treatment.
In May last year, the factory building had caught fire and its structure had become weak. Following a complaint, the MC’s Building & Road (B&R) branch had surveyed the structure and declared it unsafe recently. — TNS
