Maharashtra: Nine Women Injured as Building Portion Collapses During Immersion Procession in Bhandara
Bhandara: During the Ganesh immersion procession in Barwa village, Lakhandur taluka, Bhandara, on Wednesday evening, a portion of an old building collapsed, injuring nine women. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. when a crowd had gathered on the roof of the building along the main market road to watch the procession. The structure, unable to handle the load, gave way, but a tin shed below helped prevent a larger tragedy.
