Kolkata, March 3 A section of an old building collapsed in the Park Street area of central Kolkata on Tuesday morning, police said.
The incident occurred around 6:30 am. As the occupants were outside the house at the time, they narrowly avoided being caught in the collapse.
Residents said that the structure, which was over a century old, had become weakened, and the tremors on February 27 may have contributed to the collapse.
Personnel from the Park Street police station reached the scene following the incident.
