A 12‑story residential block in Seemapuri, Delhi, crumbled at 3:30 pm on Wednesday, leaving dozens of residents trapped beneath the rubble.
Four fire engines were dispatched within minutes, and Delhi Police joined the rescue, coordinating search teams and medical support.
The incident follows a disastrous hostel collapse in Satya Niketan a month earlier that claimed seven lives, raising concerns about building safety across the city.
Authorities are monitoring the situation, with the municipal corporation set to release a detailed report by tomorrow evening, and rescue teams remain on standby for any further casualties.
