Heavy rains lash Bangalore, Two dead in building collapse

Bangalore: Two people have died in a building collapse as heavy rains lashed Bangalore late on Wednesday night. An ageing two-storied house collapsed in the city which killed a father and son duo.
Two others were also trapped under the debris but were later rescued. The house also partially damaged a neighboring building.

In another incident, the body of nine-year-old Geetha, who slipped and fell in a drain, was found on Wednesday. She was walking on a pavement with her aunt in South East Bangalore when she slipped and fell through a gap on the concrete slap covering a drain. Heavy rains in the area had caused water logging and the child did not see the gaping hole.
