A massive landslide caused by recent rainfall has resulted in the collapse of a multi-storey building which in turn damaged two adjacent structures, a disaster management official said on Friday. However, no loss of life has been reported in the incident, he said.

As maintained by Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority Director Sudesh Kumar Mokhta, the eight-storey building at Shimla’s Ghoda Chowki near Hali Palace crumbled on Thursday because of a landslide triggered by recent rains.
