10 Feared Trapped As Under-Construction Building Collapses In Bengaluru

Parts of Bengaluru have seen flooding after three days of incessant rain.

A portion of an under-construction building collapsed in Bengaluru on Tuesday after three days of incessant rain. Officials said 10-12 people are feared to be trapped under the debris. 

Rescue teams have reached Babusapalya in east Bengaluru, where the building is located, and efforts are on to clear the debris and pull the trapped people out. Three people have been rescued so far.

Waterlogging has thrown life out of gear in parts of the city, with children missing school and passengers missing flights and trains. Residents of an apartment complex in Yelahanka on the outskirts of Bengaluru were also evacuated using boats after heavy flooding.
