New Delhi: At least four people have been killed and six others injured after a three-storey building collapsed in the Sarai Rohilla in New Delhi on Saturday morning.
Twelve people have been rescued so far while four are grievously injured. Many others are feared to be still trapped inside. The building collapsed around 9 a.m. in North Delhi's Inderlok area.
"A total of twelve people have been rescued and taken to the hospital, while four JCB machines were rushed to the spot to remove the debris. The rescue work is under progress," an official supervising the rescue operations added.
"The building was around 50 years old and a number of families lived in it. Search and rescue operations are on. Some more may be trapped in the rubble although the number cannot be ascertained as of now," said Deputy Commissioner of Police(North) Madhur Verma.
The incident took place in a congested locality and seems to have been caused by construction work on an adjacent plot, a fire official said.
