Kolkata warehouse collapse: Five arrested as death toll rises to nine
Five people, including the structural engineer of the under-construction warehouse that collapsed in Kolkata's Taratala area, have been arrested as the death toll rose to nine. A Special Investigation Team has been formed to probe possible lapses in construction and approvals. Rescue teams continued searching through the debris as authorities announced ₹10 lakh compensation for the families of those killed and ₹1 lakh for the injured. The West Bengal government has also ordered a safety audit of construction projects across the Kolkata Municipal Corporation area. #Kolkata #WestBengal #WarehouseCollapse
