Bengaluru, Sep 27: A three-storey building rented out to 'Namma Metro' construction workers near the city's Lakkasandra area, collapsed on Monday, police sources said.
No one was inside when the building came down, and no casualties have been reported, they said.
Around 25-30 labourers, mostly migrants, were reportedly living in the building, and no one was inside when it collapsed.
