A five-storey building collapsed in Delhi’s Saket area on Saturday evening. It is feared that several people are trapped underneath. The Fire Department was alerted at 7:45 AM.

Rescue teams are currently operating at the scene and three individuals have been successfully rescued; however, it is suspected that several others remained trapped, prompting an ongoing rescue operation.

According to the Delhi Fire Service, the five-storey structure which housed various offices, was largely vacant due to it being a Saturday; the few offices that were operational had already closed down by 6:00 PM. “We have sent four fire tenders to the spot and further details are awaited,” the DFS officer said.

However, when the five-storey commercial building collapsed, its debris cascaded onto adjacent structures. Specifically, rubble fell into a canteen operating within a neighboring building, where it is feared that some people may be trapped.

The Delhi Police and the Delhi Fire Service are currently on the scene, joined by the NDRF.
