72 dead in Mumbai building collapse as search ends

None

Authorities on Saturday abandoned a search for more survivors from the collapse of a seven-storey building on Mumbai's outskirts that killed 72 people, saying there was no hope of finding anybody else alive.

 

The cave-in of the partly finished building highlighted widespread shoddy building standards in the country where there is huge demand for housing and pervasive corruption often means cost-cutting and no inspections. (AFP)
