At least five workers were killed and three are trapped under the rubble in Bengaluru in southern India, where a building collapsed. The seven-story high house was under construction and collapsed in the heavy monsoon rain.
13 people have been rescued from the area, according to a statement from the police in the city, which is a well-known technology hub in India.
Similar accidents are common in India, where the construction industry is poorly regulated.
Further north, in the capital region of New Delhi, air quality was reported to be so poor that it was labeled as hazardous for the first time this winter season. The smog-filled city is home to 30 million people, many of whom coughed as they went to work and school on Wednesday.
