In a tragic incident, a portion of an under-construction assembly hall at a Hanuman temple in Yashwadi village in Maharashtra’s Parbhani district collapsed on Saturday, injuring several devotees and sparking fears that more people could be trapped beneath the debris.

According to preliminary information, a large number of devotees had gathered at the temple since the morning for darshan, as Saturdays typically witness higher footfall at Hanuman temples. During the rush, a section of the roof and a supporting pillar of the assembly hall under construction suddenly gave way, crashing onto devotees standing below and causing panic at the site.
