Double-storey house collapses during jack-lifting in Punjab; 3 dead

Three laborers died in Barnala district, Punjab, when a double-storey house, being lifted with hydraulic jacks, collapsed early Sunday morning. The house, owned by Vishal Kumar, had been raised due to successive road carpeting. Police are investigating potential negligence by the owner and contractor after sewage water reportedly weakened the foundation, leading to the collapse during a spell of rain.
