The tragedy occurred at the famous Yeshwadi temple in Parbhani district, where the roof being constructed in front of the dargah suddenly collapsed during renovation work, trapping dozens of people under the rubble.
According to Indian media reports, the accident occurred when construction and renovation activities were underway in the temple premises.

Due to the collapse of the roof, 27 people were trapped under the rubble, and a rescue operation was immediately launched to rescue them. As soon as the information was received, police, rescue teams and local administration reached the spot and intensified operations to save the victims.
According to local MLA Rajesh Whitaker, rescue teams have rescued all the people buried under the rubble. The injured were immediately shifted to nearby hospitals, where the condition of several people is said to be critical. According to officials, there is a fear of increasing the death toll. Initial investigations have revealed that the construction of the roof was almost complete and the craftsmen working on the project belonged to other states, while the construction stone was imported from Rajasthan.

Experts believe that possible delay in securing the pillars or technical lapses could be a major reason for the accident, however, the final reasons will be determined after a detailed investigation. The Yeshwadi temple is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Parbhani district, where thousands of devotees visit every week. The local administration has ordered an inquiry into the incident while the construction quality and safety measures are also being reviewed to avoid such tragedies in the future.
