School collapses in India; 6 killed

Six children were killed yesterday when the roof of their school collapsed in a village in northern India, police said.
The victims of the accident at the privately run school in Bijnor district in the impoverished Indian state of Uttar Pradesh were around 10 years of age, police said.
"There were 27 students in the school and six of them were brought out dead from the rubble," Bijnor police chief Nitin Tiwary told AFP.
