Wall collapse kills 24 at wedding ceremony in India

‘A wall has collapsed during a wedding party in western India, killing 24 people, including four children, police says.
Guests had taken shelter from a storm under a tin shack that adjoined the wall when it collapsed late Wednesday, local police officer Anil Tank told AFP.
“The wall and a tin shed attached to it at the marriage venue collapsed due to a storm,” said Tank, the superintendent of police in Bharatpur, the district of Rajasthan State, where the disaster occurred.
He said another 26 were injured, 15 of them seriously. The Press Trust of India news agency said there were food stalls set up along the wall for the wedding.
Rajasthan is one of India’s most arid states, but suffers frequent dust storms during the hotter months.’
