Several Feared Trapped As 4-Storey Building Collapses In Delhi's Welcome Area

Several people are feared to be trapped under the debris after a four-storey building collapsed in Delhi on Saturday morning. The incident was reported at 7:05 am from Northeast Delhi's Welcome area. The rescue operation is underway. The cause of the incident is yet to be ascertained.

"We received a call regarding a building collapse at 7 am. Multiple teams are working, including seven fire tenders. Further information is awaited," an officer told news agency PTI.

Four people have been pulled out of the rubble while at least three are still said to be trapped.

Locals can be seen helping clear the debris and rescue people, according to the video shared by the news agency ANI.

Earlier in April, at least four people were killed and 13 others rescued after a four-storey building collapsed in Delhi's Mustafabad. An official described it as a “pancake collapse”, in which, he said, the chances of survival are "minimal".
