At least 36 people were killed, and 16 others were injured after the roof of a stepwell at a Hindu temple in India collapsed on Thursday, according to local authorities.
The incident occurred at the Beleshwar Mahadev Jhulelal temple in the Indian city of Indore.
Police said that a concrete slab covering an ancient stepwell had collapsed and crushed devotees who were gathered at the temple to celebrate the Ram Navami festival.
Local official Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the structure was unable to take the weight of the crowd and caved in. Dozens of people plunged into the water reservoir and were covered by falling debris….
