Abohar, July 26

A house, owned by a family of labourers, in Indira Nagari collapsed due to the downpour last night. All household items were buried under the rubble. The wall of the room collapsed too and everything inside it was crushed.

Arun Kumar, who lives near the new stadium, said that as it began to rain, water from the rain got collected behind his house and entered his room. He said the family members came out of the house; however, his mother, Shanti Devi, was trying to save some goods and got trapped. He said they managed to pull her out of the house after great effort. The family has demanded compensation from the administration.
