India temple floor collapses with over 20 people trapped in well after disaster

Police and emergency workers are trying to rescue over 20 people in India trapped inside a well after a floor caved in at a Hindu temple.

The well is thought to have been 50-60ft deep and was full of water at the time of the accident in Indore, a city in Madhya Pradesh in central India.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a large amount of people gathering on the roof of the ancient well. It caved in because it couldn't bear the load, local media reported.
