Rescuers search for survivors after Mumbai building collapse kills 11

MUMBAI: Rescue workers in Mumbai frantically searched for survivors beneath the rubble on the morning after a building collapse killed at least 11 people, including eight children, following the first downpour of the monsoon season.

Resident Mohammed Rafiq Siddiqui said he had lost nine family members when a four-story tenement block came down on the adjoining building where he lived late on Wednesday evening. "I left home at 10.30 pm to fetch some milk, but by the time I came home the building had collapsed," Siddiqui told Reuters.
