UPDATED: 35 bodies found inside well after collapse at Indian temple
Video of Thursday’s collapse at the temple complex in Indore in Madhya Pradesh state showed chaos afterward, with people rushing toward the exits. An excavator pulled down a wall of the decades-old temple to help people flee.
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. “We have so far recovered 35 bodies and the rescue operation is continuing,” said Ilayaraja T., a district administrator. The effort was continuing Friday.
Temple authorities had stopped using the well years ago and covered the mouth with iron grills and tiles.
