A wall has fallen onto an Indian wedding party during a storm, killing at least 24 people including four children and injuring many more, police said on Thursday.
The concrete wall fell on guests who were sheltering from heavy rain in a tin shack on Wednesday night, police superintendent Anil Tank said.
“We worked through the night,” one rescue worker at the scene in Bharatpur, Rajasthan state, told India TV news network. “We tried to rescue as many people as possible, the scene was horrific,” the rescuer added.
He said 26 people were injured, 15 of them seriously. TV footage showed anxious relatives standing next to hospital beds.
The wall was about four metres high and 27 metres long.
