At least three workers were killed and seven others were injured after a makeshift water tank collapsed at a labour camp in Maharashtra's Pune distinct on Thursday morning, police said.
The incident took place in the Bhosari area of Pimpri Chinchwad township. Some labourers were taking baths under the water tank when it collapsed due to water pressure.
"It seems a wall of the water tank exploded due to the water pressure, leading to the collapse of the tank," Additional Commissioner of Police, Pimpri Chinchwad Vasant Pardeshi told news agency PTI.
The labourers who were below the water tank got trapped under the debris, of which three died. "Three of them died on the spot while seven others sustained injuries and they have been rushed to a hospital," the official said.
Further details are awaited.
