Five-storey building collapses in Shimla, no death reported
Shimla/IBNS: In what could have been a major accident, a five-storey building collapsed amid heavy rains at Mathu Colony in Shimla's Bhattakufer area on Monday, media reports said.
No death was reported as the building, which is located near a hospital, was evacuated last night after cracks started appearing.
The initial reports suggest the cracks appeared due to the ongoing construction of a four-lane road in the area.
