Covering over well at Indian temple collapses, killing 8
Up to 35 people fell into the well in the temple complex in Indore in central Madhya Pradesh state when the structure collapsed and were covered by falling debris, police Commissioner Makrand Deoskar said.
The structure apparently caved in because it could not handle the weight of the large crowd. The state's top elected official, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, ordered an investigation.Rescue workers were pumping the water out of the well looking for any more people still trapped there, local news reports said.Witnesses said a large crowd of devotees had thronged the temple to perform a fire ritual and celebrate the Hindu festival.
Building collapses are common in India because of poor construction and a failure to observe regulations.
