The balance of people who have lost their lives in New Delhi (India) by the collapse of a building on Saturday due to heavy rains in Chennai, in the state of Tamil Nadu (south) on Monday has risen to 23.
The building under construction collapsed when several workers were inside to shelter from the rain.
On Sunday, the beginning balance was at least 11 people dead, while on-site rescue teams searching for dozens of people over the rubble.
“Forty-three people were pulled from the rubble, 23 dead and 20 alive,” he told AFP a senior Tamil Nadu police. “Another 30 could it be trapped, but we ignore the exact number,” he added.
