Chennai, Oct 20 (IBNS): At least eight people have been killed in Tamil Nadu's Nagapattinam district on Friday morning as a building collapsed, reports said.

Three others too sustained grave injuries and were rushed to Nagapattinam Government Hospital.

The said building was located at Porayar and belonged to Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation.

All the deceased and injured persons were either bus drivers or conductors who were taking rest when the roof gave away at around 3:30 am.

The deceased have been identified as Muniyappan, Chandrasekar, Prabakar, Ramalingam, Manivannan, Dhanapal, Anbarasan and Balu.

According to police, continuous rainfall for the past three days may have weakened the building, leading to its collapse.
