A slab of a Hanuman temple collapses in Yashwadi village in Maharashtra’s Parbhani district on Saturday afternoon, according to police and district officials. The collapse occurs around 3:30 pm at the temple’s “sabha-mandap” or outer hall, during a period of heavy footfall from devotees. One report says the temple draws a rush of visitors because Saturday is associated with Lord Hanuman. Authorities launch rescue efforts immediately and teams from police and the district administration are deployed to search for and assist people trapped under debris. The reports state that at least three people die and several others are injured. Officials also say about 25 people have been rescued so far, though injury counts are described more broadly as “several” in one account. The exact number of injuries and conditions of the affected people are not consistently detailed across the reports. The rescue operation is underway as authorities continue relief and verification work at the site.
