Children Among 6 Killed in Sangli Collapse

An old wall of the temple collapsed and fell on the devotees standing nearby. Six people, including children, lost their lives in the incident. Some died at the scene itself, while others passed away on the way to the hospital. As soon as the news broke, police and the local administration rushed to the spot and began rescue work. The injured have been admitted to nearby hospitals.
