News summary

A two-storey building collapsed in Bapa Nagar, New Delhi, resulting in three confirmed deaths and 14 injuries, with ongoing rescue efforts for additional trapped occupants. Local residents played a crucial role in the immediate rescue, lifting debris to save relatives and neighbors. Emergency responders, including the Delhi Fire Service and National Disaster Response Force, faced challenges due to the building's location in a densely populated area with narrow streets. Delhi Police Deputy Commissioner M. Harsh Vardhan confirmed that eight individuals have been rescued and transported to the hospital, while authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse, which is attributed to the building's old age. Delhi Chief Minister-designate Atishi has urged citizens to report any potential risks related to construction, especially after heavy rains this year. Legal actions will be pursued post-rescue operations, with ongoing support for the victims and their families.
