Indian Hospital Collapses, Killing Two - Wall Street Journal (India)

By VIBHUTI AGARWAL NEW DELHI-A wing of a government-run hospital in Bhopal in central India collapsed Friday evening, a state police official said. "The incident took place at 5:30 p.m. [1200 GMT] when the ceiling of the first floor of the hospital collapsed," said Upendra Kumar Jain, the Inspector General of Police in Bhopal. "It is a decades old building" and the section of the edifice that collapsed was undergoing building work, he said. Fifteen people have been rescued but at least 30 others, including patients and hospital staff, were still trapped inside, he said. There have been no deaths so far. Buildings collapse regularly in South Asia due to poor construction materials and lax oversight by authorities. More than 300 people died when an eight-story factory complex outside Dhaka, Bangladesh, collapsed Wednesday. Rescue work at that site continued Friday, with many more feared dead. • Invalid email address. • You can't enter more than 20 emails. • Seperate multiple addresses with Commas. • Must enter an email address. • You must enter the verification code below to send. • Invalid entry: Please type the verification code again. via Top Stories - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNFZZlUsR7PVcdup5Yk3STFmJ1JWKA&url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324474004578446700566317918.html
