Uttar Pradesh: Wall collapse kills two
Mirzapur, Aug 13 (UNI) Two people were killed and as many critically injured when the wall of a 'kuccha' house collapsed amid rains in the Jigna area of this district in Uttar Pradesh, police said on Tuesday.
According to police, several guests were visiting Akbar Ali, a resident of Patehra village, on the occasion of Bakrid. While some of them were sleeping in a 'pucca' house, others were asleep in a 'kuccha' house made of mud.
The wall of the 'kuccha' house suddenly collapsed on Monday night and Aslam (27), his six-year-old daughter Soni, Firoz and her daughter Nusrat (6) were trapped under the debris.
The villagers somehow cleared the debris and took out the four individuals but Aslam and Nusrat had succumbed to their injuries by then.
The injured have been admitted to a hospital for further treatment.
