Two women were killed while 13 others were injured after wall of a deserted building collapsed in Madhya Pradesh's Bina area yesterday.
The injured have been admitted to a railway hospital, where condition of two is said to be critical.

As a result, two women workers have been killed, while others are injured," said District Superintendent of Police (DSP), Q.R. Zaidi
