THE wall of a two-storey hotel has collapsed in the southern Indian city of Secunderabad, killing at least seven restaurant workers and injuring 15 others, local police officials say.
Rescue workers were searching through tonnes of rubble on Monday for those still trapped after the incident in Andhra Pradesh state, local police official Srinivasan, who goes by one name, said.
"Seven persons have been found dead so far after a nearby hotel collapsed early this morning. We are still trying to clear the rubble and find more people," he said.
Nearly 25 people were working at the City Light Hotel, located on a busy road in Secunderabad, when the kitchen wall gave way, burying staff under debris, local police official B Surender said.
Fifteen people were admitted to hospital, five of them with serious injuries, Surender said.
It was unclear how many people were still trapped under the rubble.
"The building was very old and the walls showed cracks, according to people working nearby," he added.
Rescue workers used diggers, cranes and electric cutters to try to clear the debris, as family members of the hotel workers waited at the site for news.
