(AP photo)NEW DELHI - A building wall collapsed onto guests at a wedding in western India, killing at least 24 people and injuring others, a government official said Thursday. When the 32-metre-long wall fell, it trapped people inside the wedding hall and a covered shed built along the wall outside, Bharatpur District Magistrate NK Gupta told reporters. Another 28 people were injured and have been hospitalised, police officer Anil Tank told the Press Trust of India news agency. In 2013, a building being constructed illegally in Mumbai caved in, killing 74 people in the country's worst building collapse in decades.
