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.
