Delhi: Two killed as building collapses in Chawri Bazaar

Two persons were killed after a three-storey building under construction collapsed in Old Delhi’s crowded Chawri Bazar area on Thursday, ANI quoted the Delhi Police as saying.

At least 15 persons are feared trapped under the debris, PTI quoted a Delhi Fire Services official as saying.

At least six fire department vehicles were at the site to oversee rescue operations, the news agency reported.

This came two months after seven persons were killed after a five-storey building in Satya Niketan collapsed on September 6. The building was being used as paying guest accommodation.

On October 7, five persons were killed as a four-storey building collapsed in northeast Delhi’s Seemapuri.
