At least 15 people have been injured after they fell into a well in the Ganjbasoda area in Vidisha as people had gathered around the wall of well when it collapsed, on Thursday.
"Teams of NDRF & SDRF have left for the incident site from Bhopal. The district collector and SP are on the spot. I've directed guardian minister Vishwas Sarang to reach there," Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said.
The incident happened when a crowd gathered near the wall of the well to rescue the child who drowned in the well. But due to the increasing pressure of the crowd standing around the well, its wall collapsed that led to dozens of people fell into it.
