5 members of family die as house roof collapse in Punjab's Tarn Taran

TARN TARAN: At least five members of a family died after the roof of their house collapsed while they were sleeping in Punjab, police said on Saturday.
The incident occurred at around 4.30 am in village Pandori Gola, according to police.
The dwelling's structure was in a severely deteriorated state. The accumulated debris atop the roof's surface contributed substantial weight, ultimately causing its collapse.
Following the incident, neighbours rushed them to a hospital where medical staff pronounced them dead upon arrival.
The deceased were identified as Gobinda (40), wife Amarjit Kaur (36), their three minor children Gurbaj Singh (14), Gurlaal (17) daughter Ekam (15).
The bodies have been dispatched for a postmortem examination, police stated.
Another similar incident occurred in Chandigarh's Sector 17.
Chandigarh Sector 17 building collapses days after being declared unsafe
Just 10 days after being declared unsafe for occupancy, a three-bay building in Chandigarh’s key commercial hub, Sector 17, collapsed on January 6. The structure (SCO 183-185) had been evacuated and sealed off on December 27 after authorities deemed it unsafe.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported, as the premises had already been cordoned off following the discovery of cracks in three load-bearing pillars. Officials linked the collapse to recent renovation work that had weakened the columns and altered the basement's internal structures.
The building had been unoccupied for a prolonged period before renovation work began in November. Structural damage emerged soon after, leading to the declaration of the building as unsafe on December 27, following reports of loud noises and cracks in the pillars.
