Ahmedabad, Aug 28, 2020:    At least one person died when a two-storey shopping complex building collapsed in Kubernagar area of Ahmedabad on Friday.

 

Two persons have been rescued so far, officials said.

This comes a day after two minor sisters died when a wall of their house suddenly collapsed at a village in Gujarat’’s Bharuch district.

The collapse was triggered by a wall from an adjoining house crashing on a portion of their residential structure, a police official said on Thursday.

The incident took place at Nondhni village under Jambusar taluka when the three sisters were sleeping in their room, said police sub-inspector VR Prajapati.

While 12-year-old Virali Parmar and Heena Parmar (13) were buried alive under the debris, their third sister Bhumika has been hospitalised with injuries.

"When they were asleep in their semi-pucca house early today morning, a wall of adjoining house fell on their house, which triggered the collapse of wall and some portion of the roof, killing two sisters on the spot," said police.

The third sister survived but received injuries on her leg, he said.
