An elderly woman was killed and two others, including a child, injured after a portion of the roof of a dilapidated building collapsed in Kolkata’s Park Circus area in the early hours of Monday, police said. “One of the injured suffered a fracture in his leg, while a child sustained injuries to the nose and mouth,” they said. Residents said the building housed several families who lived on rent and had repeatedly urged the owner to repair the structure. “The building was in a severely dilapidated condition,” they said. Police added that no written complaint has been lodged against the building owner so far.
