Four persons, including two children from different families and their parents, were killed when a portion of a pandal collapsed in Gujarat's Rajkot district yesterday due to strong winds, police said today.
The incident occurred during the course of a religious function in Moti Paneli town in the district.
"A portion of the pandal collapsed due to stormy winds killing Rupa Koli (27) and her three-year-old son Ronak," said Bhayavadar police sub-inspector H H Dhadhal.
He said Mukesh Khatariya (35) and his nine-month-old daughter Shruti sustained severe injuries in the incident and were rushed to Rajkot civil hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries during treatment.
