Thirty-six dead after floor of Indian temple collapses
Worshippers in Indore fell into communal water source as they gathered to mark Ram Navami
At least 35 people have died after the floor of a Hindu temple collapsed in Indore, central India, plunging them into a well.
It has emerged that the floor which covered the stepwell – a stair-lined communal water source – consisted only of tiles laid over a metal grille.
An investigation had been launched into the tragedy and the families of the dead people would be compensated, Narottam Mishra, the home minister of Madhya Pradesh state said.
