NEW DELHI (AFP) – Nine people died after an under-construction building collapsed in southern India but a four-year-old boy and his mother were pulled alive from the rubble, police said Saturday.
The seven-storey building where labourers and their families lived in the basement came crashing down late Thursday in Hyderabad, the state capital of Telangana.
“We can confirm that the toll has gone up to nine. Rescue workers had managed to pull out a mother and her child alive yesterday (Friday),” a senior police officer told AFP.
