A temporary tin shed collapsed at Bageshwar Dham in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh on Thursday morning, killing a 50-year-old man and injuring several others.
The accident happened during preparations for spiritual leader Dhirendra Shastri's birthday event, after strong winds and rain hit the area.

Iron beam struck man; others hurt in incident

The shed came down as people took shelter from the rain; sadly, an iron beam struck Shyam Lal Kaushal, who died on the spot.
Others hurt in the incident are being treated in hospital.
This tragedy—and similar recent accidents—highlight why better safety checks for temporary structures are needed, especially with unpredictable weather.
