At least 18 people died, while 20 others sustained injuries, after the roof of a shelter at a crematorium collapsed in the Muradnagar town of Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district on Sunday afternoon. The roof collapsed at a time when several people, who came to the cemetary to perform the last rites of their kin, had taken shelter underneath it amid heavy downpour. Many trapped under the rubble were rescued and rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment.
