A three-storey building collapsed on the premises of the Swaminarayan temple in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on August 28, 2026. No casualties were reported, according to local officials. The collapse occurred near K.P. College and was attributed to a construction project underway behind the building. Water from a pit dug for the construction had reportedly weakened the building's foundation. The structure had 12 rooms and showed signs of cracking prior to the collapse. Authorities confirmed the building had been closed for about a week before the incident.
