Fire brigades and police teams have also been dispatched to the scene. According to local media, 20 people have been rescued, including a child. Overall, around 20 families were reportedly living in the 40-year-old house.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted to the news by expressing condolences to the victims and adding that "all possible assistance is being provided to the affected."

The cause of the collapse has not yet been named by the authorities.
Such incidents are not uncommon in India due to heavy seasonal rains and illegal construction practices. Last month, a collapse in the western part of the country killed 16.
