A major tragedy unfolded in northeast Delhi’s Shakti Vihar area early Saturday morning as a four-storey building collapsed, killing four people and leaving several others feared trapped under the debris. The incident occurred around 3.02 AM, prompting an immediate response from the local police and rescue teams.
According to officials, nearly 22 people were suspected to be under the rubble when the structure crumbled. So far, 14 individuals have been rescued and shifted to GTB Hospital, where four were declared brought dead by doctors.
Police officials confirmed that they received a distress call at the Dayalpur police station and immediately rushed to Gali No. 1, Shakti Vihar. The area has since been cordoned off as emergency teams continue the search for survivors.
Rescue operations are underway amid growing concerns about the structural integrity of nearby buildings and the safety of those still trapped.
