NEW DELHI — Thirty-five bodies have been found inside a well at a Hindu temple in central India after dozens of people fell into the muddy water when the well’s cover collapsed, officials said Friday.
People stand around a structure built over an old temple well that collapsed, as a large crowd of devotees gathered for the Ram Navami Hindu festival in Indore, India on March 30, 2023.Dozens of people fell into the water when the structure over the well 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, said the state’s top elected official, Shivraj Singh Chauhan.An accident victim is carried towards a waiting ambulance in Indore, India on March 30, 2023.“We have so far recovered 35 bodies and the rescue operation is continuing,” said Ilayaraja T., a district administrator.
Municipal authorities in January ordered temple owners to remove the covering of the well because it was an unsafe and unauthorized structure, but temple authorities ignored the warning, the newspaper said.
