Eight members of a family survived the collapse of the roof of their house in Agasga village in Belagavi district because they acted in time.

They got up and ran out. A part of the roof collapsed and fell at the spot where they had been sleeping.

“We were saved by a miracle,” Basavanneppa told journalists.

Police and fire and emergency services personnel visited the spot.
