Three labourers lost their lives, and seven others were injured when a makeshift water tank collapsed at a labour camp in Pune's Bhosari area on Thursday morning, police reported.

The incident occurred in the Pimpri Chinchwad area, where several workers were swimming beneath a water tank. According to Vasant Pardeshi, Additional Commissioner of Police for Pimpri Chinchwad, the collapse was most likely caused by water pressure, which caused the tank's wall to burst, PTI reported.
