Two boys, aged 17, died on the spot while another was seriously injured after the roof of a dilapidated building collapsed on them at Vandikuppam near Cuddalore on Thursday. The deceased were identified as Veerasekar and Sathish Kumar of Vandikuppam.
Police said that as many as 130 tenements were constructed for Sri Lankan Tamil refugees near Samathuvapuram in Vandikuppam some 10 years ago. The tenements remained unoccupied for a long time due to poor amenities. On Thursday, the duo along with Bhuvanesh of the same area, were playing inside one of the tenements when a roof of the building fell on them.
