Three-storey building collapses at Swaminarayan temple premises in Prayagraj
Swaminarayan temple 'kothari', Kamlesh Bhagat, stated that a construction project was under way behind the collapsed structure, and a pit dug for this purpose had been filled with water for an extended period
A three-story building collapsed on the premises of the Swaminarayan temple in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday night, according to temple authorities. There were no casualties reported. The building, situated opposite K.P. College, had been under construction and had a pit filled with water for an extended period. Temple administrative leader Kamlesh Bhagat suggested that the water may have weakened the building's foundation.
The 12-room structure had developed cracks and had been closed for about a week before the incident. No one was inside the building at the time of the collapse.
