NEW DELHI, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- At least four people were killed and four others injured Wednesday after part of an old house collapsed in eastern Indian state of Bihar, officials said.

The house collapsed in Panchmahalla area of Jehanabad district, about 47 km south of Patna, the capital city of Bihar.

"This evening a house collapsed here in a congested locality, killing four people and injuring four others, who were rescued and removed to hospital immediately," Ramesh Kumar Jha, additional collector of Jehanabad told Xinhua over the telephone.

"We are right now at the spot overseeing rescue work and all the trapped ones have been rescued."

Following the incident, police teams and disaster response force personnel rushed to the spot to carry out rescue work and retrieve bodies from underneath the debris.

Deadly accidents due to failing infrastructure are not rare in India. Construction experts blame the lax administration and corruption in India for flouting building rules that often result in using poor quality materials, inadequate supervision and poor safety standards.
