A portion of a two-story house in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri industrial area collapsed on Friday afternoon, leaving several people trapped. The incident occurred around 12:51 PM, prompting the fire department to dispatch five tenders to the scene. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with four individuals, including a woman, successfully extracted from the debris. However, officials remain concerned that more people may still be trapped. Visuals circulating online show police and fire department personnel working tirelessly to clear the debris with the assistance of bulldozers.
The collapse comes after Delhi experienced heavy rainfall on Wednesday night, leading to waterlogging in various parts of the city. While the extent of the damage and the number of individuals trapped remains unclear, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with extreme weather events and aging infrastructure. The rescue efforts are continuing, and updates will be provided as they become available.
