Delhi Building Collapse Prompts Rescue Operation in Chawri Bazaar

A building collapse in Old Delhi’s Chawri Bazaar prompted an emergency response on Thursday morning.

Contemporaneous reporting described two deaths and one injured person after an under-construction structure collapsed near the Chawri Bazaar Metro station. Rescue teams were sent to the area while officials examined the circumstances.

Casualty counts and the status of anyone feared trapped may change as rescue work continues. The cause of the collapse should not be assumed before an official investigation establishes what happened.
