The death toll from a fatal floor collapse at a Hindu temple in Indore, India has reached 36. The incident occurred on Thursday when worshippers gathered inside the Beleswar Mahadev Jhulelal temple for the Ram Navami festival. A floor collapsed under the weight, causing them to fall into a deep stepwell. The authorities believe 80 people were at the temple when the tragedy struck, and the search for survivors continues. A survivor told local media that the floor was made only with stone slabs and iron rods. Police have launched a criminal probe against two senior managers of the private trust that operates the temple.
