Four children under the age of five were killed and five others injured when a wall of a defunct factory collapsed on their makeshift tents amid heavy rains in an industrial area in Gujarat’s Panchmahal district on Thursday.
The victims’ families belong to Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh and have migrated here to work as labourers at a construction site near an unused chemical factory at Chandrapura village in Halol taluka.
Families of construction workers were living in makeshift tents that they had erected adjacent to the boundary wall of the factory.
