Wall Collapse in West Bengal Kills Three, Fuels Political Blame
A mother and her two daughters died when the wall of their house fell down.
This happened in India after heavy rain.
The family was living in a mud hut.
They were supposed to get a new house through a government program, but the building wasn't finished because of a delay in funds.
Now, politicians are arguing about who is to blame.
One party blames the central government for stopping the money.
The other party blames the local government for corruption.
The family's house was under construction but not completed due to stalled funds.
A widow and her two daughters died when their mud hut collapsed.
The incident occurred in Kamarpara, Mandirbazar, South 24-Parganas.
Heavy rain weakened the hut's walls, leading to the collapse.
The family was beneficiaries of a rural housing scheme, but the house was incomplete.
The tragedy sparked a political blame game between Trinamool and BJP.
