Police said in a statement that 13 people have been rescued so
far by fire and disaster response teams. The entire building
collapsed Tuesday in the Babusapalya area of Bengaluru, one of
India’s information and technology hubs.
The cause of the collapse is still being investigated.
Such accidents are common in India during the monsoon season
from June to September. Regulations are poorly enforced, and
some builders cut corners, use substandard materials, or add
unauthorized extra floors, leading to structural collapses.
