Nine persons were killed and eighteen others grievously injured after a wall under construction in a warehouse belonging to the brother of a Madhya Pradesh minister collapsed on Monday afternoon.
All persons killed and injured have been identified as labourers and masons engaged in construction of the massive wall. The incident occurred around 3pm in the Jeula area adjoining Rewa town, 511km from here.
