Thirteen bodies have been pulled from the wreckage of a building under construction that collapsed in a coastal village in the Indian state of Goa.
Some 40-50 people were at the site at the time of the incident on Saturday afternoon in Canacona, about 80kms from the state capital Panaji. There was no word on the cause of the collapse.
Initial reports said that the structure was a five-storey apartment building.
Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told AFP that police would arrest the builder, the contractor and municipal officials involved in sanctioning the construction site.

At least 42 people died after a four-storey building collapsed in Mumbai in September. Last April, another building collapse in Mumbai killed 74 people.
