Parbhani, Maharashtra — In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves across the region, at least four people lost their lives after the roof of a temple collapsed in Maharashtra’s Parbhani district on Saturday. Several others were injured in the हादसा, with some reported to be in critical condition.
According to local authorities, the incident occurred during a gathering at the temple, where devotees had assembled for prayers. The structure अचानक gave way, trapping many people under the debris. Emergency services rushed to the spot immediately after receiving the alert, launching a rescue operation to pull survivors from the rubble.
Police and district officials confirmed that the deceased included both men and women, though their identities are yet to be officially released. The injured were quickly shifted to nearby hospitals, where they are undergoing treatment.
Preliminary reports suggest that the collapse may have been caused by structural कमजोरी in the building, possibly worsened by recent weather conditions. However, officials have ordered a detailed investigation to determine the exact cause of the दुर्घटना.
Local प्रशासन, along with disaster response teams, worked for several hours to clear the debris and ensure no one remained trapped. Authorities have also appealed to the public to stay away from the site to allow rescue and recovery operations to continue smoothly.
Maharashtra government officials have expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives and assured that strict action will be taken if negligence is found. Compensation for the victims’ families is also expected to be announced soon.
This heartbreaking incident once again raises concerns about the safety and maintenance of old religious structures, especially those that witness large gatherings.
Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
