8 killed in Tamil Nadu wall collapse

DHAKA: Eight people, all reported to be factory workers, died after a wall collapsed Saturday in an industrial plant in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu in India.

The accident happened in the SIPCOT industrial area in Vaniyambadi after a waste treatment plant at the site burst open and the sledge knocked down the wall, which collapsed on the workers sleeping in the adjoining plot, say police officials.

Seven of the deceased victims are migrant labourers from West Bengal, reports NDTV.
