Local governments have been urged to inspect buildings and improve safety supervision across all housing construction and renovation sites, especially in rural areas, according to a circular issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

As of 10:50 p.m. Friday, 40 construction workers had been rescued from the debris. Seventeen died and 23 others were injured, nine are in a serious condition.


An investigation has been launched.
