HYDERABAD: At least 60 people suffered injuries when a temporary gallery erected for spectators during a Kabaddi tournament collapsed at Guntakandala in Suryapet district of Telangana on Monday.
District police said the mishap occurred at 6.30pm, just before the start of the 47th junior National Kabaddi Championship organised by Telangana Kabaddi Association.

The organisers had set up multiple galleries for the spectators for the event.
One of the galleries, which had around 2,000 spectators, collapsed apparently due to the weak structure made of wood and other materials, police said.

The exact cause of the mishap would be known only after investigation, the police said.
The injured were shifted to a hospital where their condition is said to be out of danger.
