15-Foot Wall Collapse Kills Woman in Gwalior
A very tall wall, about 15 feet high, suddenly fell down in a place called Gwalior in India.
A woman named Tarana, who was 40 years old and ran a small tea and cigarette shop, was sitting near the wall when it collapsed.
She sadly died right away, and two men, Rahul and Pappu, who is her brother-in-law, got very hurt.
People nearby tried to help and called the police.
The police are now looking into why the wall fell, and they think it might be because the wall was too tall and not built very well.
The injured men are in the hospital getting treatment.
A 15-foot wall collapsed in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, killing a 40-year-old woman named Tarana.
Two men, Rahul (42) and Pappu (Tarana's brother-in-law), were critically injured and are undergoing treatment.
The incident occurred between 6 am and 7 am on Sunday near Tarana's tea and cigarette stall.
Locals allege the wall was built excessively high with substandard materials and insufficient reinforcement bars.
