A makeshift tent collapsed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in West Bengal's Midnapore district on Monday, injuring at least 22 people, police officers said.

State BJP president Dilip Ghosh said 24 people were injured in the incident. Many enthusiastic BJP supporters had climbed the makeshift marquee during the rally. Modi — who visited the hospital later — briefly stopped his speech and was heard asking them to get down, officials said.
