The death toll after a floor collapsed at a Hindu temple in India had risen to 35 on Friday with rescue operations ongoing, a local official told AFP.
Dozens of worshippers celebrating a major religious holiday on Thursday plunged into the stepwell –- a stair-lined communal water source -- after the floor covering it collapsed in the central city of Indore.
Police official Manish Kapooriya told AFP rescue efforts were continuing and that the injured were being taken to government hospitals for treatment. Other videos showed the caved-in floor and mangled steel bars as well as police officers using ropes to seal the area.
