Uttar Pradesh: 13 dead after falling into well in Kushinagar
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed condolences to the families of victims.

Thirteen women and girls died in a village in the Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh after they accidentally fell into a well during a wedding celebration late on Wednesday. Of the 13 victims, 11 died on Wednesday while the other two succumbed to their injuries at a hospital on Thursday morning. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed condolences to the families of victims.

Details
10 people sustain injuries

The incident occurred around 8:30 pm in Nebua Naurangia village where the victims had assembled on and around the covered well for a prayer. However, the covering collapsed due to the heavy load and the victims fell into the well. As they screamed, locals ran toward the well and tried to pull them out. Ten people have sustained injuries in the incident, officials said.

Compensation announced for victims' families

"This (the incident) happened during a wedding program wherein some people were sitting on a slab of a well and due to heavy load, the slab broke," said S Rajalingam, the district magistrate of Kushinagar. Rajalingam further told reporters that an ex-gratia compensation of Rs. 4 lakh each will be given to the families of those who died.
