印度频繁发生楼房倒塌事件

An apartment building has collapsed in the outskirts of India's financial capital, killing 10 people, including five children, and injuring nine other people.

Officials say the three-story building collapsed early Friday in the Thane area on the outskirts of Mumbai while many of its residents were asleep.

Police say emergency workers have rescued 20 people from the rubble and are continuing efforts to find more survivors.  The cause of the collapse is under investigation.

Building collapses are common in India because builders often use substandard materials, and multi-story structures are often built without adequate supervision.

Less than two weeks ago, 10 people were killed when another building collapsed in Mumbai.

In April, 74 people died in one of the worst building disasters in India's history when a building being illegally constructed gave in.
