6 injured in building collapse
in quake-hit Bhuj

At least six passers-by were injured when a five-storeyed building, rendered unsafe for occupation after the January 26 killer quake, collapsed in Lal Tikri area in Bhuj on Saturday.

The victims were passing through the area when the building, abandoned after the temblor hit the region, came crashing down, official sources said.

Home Secretary K Nityanandam denied reports that some people were trapped under the debris.

The injured were yet to be identified.

The collapse of the building caused panic as people rushed out of their homes fearing another quake.

The Meteorological Centre in Ahmedabad said no tremors were recorded in Gujarat on Saturday.
