A building under construction in Jaipur’s Jawahar Nagar area collapsed on Thursday, raising concerns about the safety of the city’s infrastructure. The incident occurred in the busy area of Jawahar Nagar, where the two-storey building housed juice shops on its ground floor.
Immediately following the collapse, emergency response teams rushed to the scene. The Municipal Corporation, local administration, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and police are all working together to extricate those trapped beneath the debris.
This incident comes just days after a similar tragedy in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore district. Last week, a roof slab collapse at an under-construction building in Choral village claimed the life of one laborer and trapped five others. Rescue efforts are underway in both incidents, highlighting the urgent need for stricter safety measures in construction projects across India.
The exact cause of the Jaipur building collapse remains under investigation, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with poorly constructed or maintained buildings. Further updates on the situation are expected as rescue operations continue.
