Secunderabad,: Three persons died and two others sustained
injuries after a portion of a building collapsed in the busy Monda Market in
Secunderabad, police said.
The incident occurred at around 3.30 pm 25th
February when slabs of the three-storied
building, which was being demolished for constructing a new structure, suddenly
collapsed on some vendors on the road, they said.
"Bodies of 3 men were removed from the debris while two
others who were trapped have been rescued," a senior police officer monitoring
the rescue operation told PTI.

that some more persons are feared trapped beneath the collapsed component
Hyderabad Police Commissioner A K Khan, who visited the
area, said, "It's a clear case of negligence and police teams have been
formed to nab the owners of the building, who are on the run."

Chairman and Sanathnagar MLA M Shashidhar Reddy, who inspected the relief
and rescue operation, told reporters that if disaster management plan was in
