Vellore: Nine people, including four children, were killed and nine others were injured after a house that was soaked in collapsing on the screen in Vellore on Friday.
According to the police, several families living on Muslim Road on the banks of the Kottaru river were used to take refuge in Aslam Ansari’s concrete house every time there was a heavy water flow in the river.
On Thursday night, 18 people from five to six families slept at Ansari’s house.
When the basement of the house was eroded because of river water exposure for the past few days, most of the house collapsed around 8 am on Friday.
